| this song is definatley about the rich/poor divide in LA The hills find peace Locked armed guard posts Safe from the screams Of the children born as ghosts refers to the rich in the hollywood hills stuck in their own happy little world, where they dont see the real problems kids in LA have to live with. Where young run foaming at the mouth with hate Where burning batons beat the freezing who shake those kids end up filled with hate towards racist police. Under the toxic sunsets they dine and toast Their walls deny the terror faced by the children LA is well know for having very polluted air. The Kids growing up in the oppresive atmosphere that comes with vast expanses of cheap housing. One book and forty odd Stuffed in a room Ah, the school as a tomb Where home is a wasteland describing the poverty The tales that tear at the myth of the dream A suffering that shocks the lives off the screen LA is more than happy hollywood. the rich and famous are ignorant to the suffering in LA because they are afraid of it | |

| this song is how politicians and leaders make choices in the world without thinking about who or how people will be effected by them, namely children, who will someday lead the world, and the things they do keep us from being able to think freely and feel how we want. | |

| i personally think that this song could be about 2 things. one is that we're born to die. think about it... the ultimate outcome of life is death, so youre basically born to become a ghost. the other thing is that he could fee like hes born, but nobody sees him or hears him. hes just invisible to everyone around him. "Where home is a wasteland Taste the razor wire And thought is locked in the womb" liek a kid in school thats kind of the outsider and has no friends. these are 2 things i think the song could be about | |

| i think this is about being born in capivity, not being able to escape and the childrens rage is built up against the outside world. the atmosphere sounds pretti depressing. it could be a slave plantation, were people are beaten into working and hate the captors or it could be about destroying the future for children 'toxic sunsets' nd all and how all the blame is built up on non existant enimies and the womb could be the crampted conditions or the womb as mentioned above | |
