| naah.. anarchy would really work cuzz ppl are so different and there are alot of "powerfull" ppl that doesnt see the woods for only trees. dunno.. kinda speaks in riddles but i mean, we really need changes but its hard to get anywhere cuzz all ppl wanna do is have a debate about it and sit and talk about it. if we want changes, ppl have to stand up and make a revolution, but who is gonna run the show then? | |

| 'they stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch' i think this line means that everyone is just looking for the easy solution (to solving all the problems of today) rather than doing it in detail to stop it from ever happening agen | |

| fucking comment got cut off. Anyway, this isn't the kind of mindset we want to embody or promote listening to such meaningful music. This is why we've got so many fucking posers who could give half a damn about any kind of noteworthy Cause. I interpret this song rather holistically. The world is exhausted from the immaturity and inability for its inhabitants to take actions towards rational actions. In, "and she just doesn't know how much more she can give," I take the pronoun she to refer to the world itself, given in the next sentence. The song embodies weariness given from ignorance and the need for the masses to be told what to think, as given by, "they stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch." Impressing others isn't the prerogative, it's changing the world the way you feel it should be. Yet despite this black hole of inactivity, the need for revolution is there! The time for change is now, yet people are more content to live in ignorance and sit in front of their televisions than take life into their own hands and make a change -- sometimes you just want to set America the fuck on fire. The message: Don't live in fear of your potential, a need for revolution is rising. Set the world on fire. | |
