@[jayintheuk:2689] I agree with your interpretation of the song. I am not a religious person at all. To me, it meant something a little different. I trouble handling the stress of being a whistle blower, trying for my PhD and all of these things. I was drinking excessively and at times completely out of control. She put up with it until the day she discovered that I had cheated on her and we broke up. After months had passed, I recently sent this song to my ex-gf (before ever watching the music video). I have been trying to "win her back" since. For me it meant, that everything we think we know about "therapy" is incorrect. Think of AA or NA, "Hi my name is X and I'm an alcoholic". I believe that VERY LINE is the reason programs like AA only have a 3% success rate. Every-time, you say "I am" anything, your brain strengthens those neural connections. Effectively, you become what you believe. Your entire life is based on beliefs, the beliefs that if you sit in a chair you wont fall through it, or hit a wall it will stop you. However, there is nothing innate about these properties. Humans (homo-sapiens) have an incredibly developed per-frontal cortex and I believe that by focusing the energy of this, you can re-wire your brain, your neural connections, almost instantly. I practice meditation for hours, take Omega 3, 6, 8 etc. and then go to sleep. I wake up the next day feeling different. As Charlie Sheen said once in an interview I had a problem but I don't anymore. I rewired my brain in a nano-second and it was a gone. Of course nobody believed him and thought he was crazy. But I believe that is the moment in my life when I realized that he wasn't crazy, he was right. We all have the power to rewire our brains if we only try. Instead of saying "I am", or "I have" this to anything negative. You should instead replace this with, "I don't have a problem with X", or "I am not X". Also, use "passed tense" when referring to a problem. "I had a problem with X" etc. Back to the song: I believe the Linkin Park discovered the same thing. Listen to the lyrics: "I'll face myself To cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done" It seems so simple, "Erase myself", "cross out what I've done". Because it IS that simple. "Put to rest What you thought of me While I clean this slate With the hands of uncertainty" He's changed, put to rest what you thought of me. He's cleaning his slate, but he's lost (likely experiencing "lost dreams", as I do all the time). Because he is uncertain of his destination yet he still believes he can clean the slate. Anyways, maybe this will add something to the way you perceive the world. |

Did anyone watch the music video? I noticed something very interesting... Notice how the "war mongering president/dictator" is in a wheel chair? Also, notice the microphone on the podium, is a 1940's microphone, not a modern day one. I think a portion of this song is actually a direct attack on FDR and his abuse of power in office. Just an interesting observation, as most people would assume it would be an attack on Bush. |

He could be referring to a 14/23 SJ "bridge" used for "synthesizing" many different drugs. Check this out: http://www.simax.com/en/glassware-with-sj____stillhead-with-thermometer-socket-sj-14-23--bridge-----shaped_____technical-glass______laboratory-glass.html |

| I am relavitiy sure this song is about a particular drug mix that he obtained from the streets/ave of 14/23. I don't think It has anything to do with age at all. | |

I could be way off in my interpretation but this is what I get out of it. Well dissecting the song, I find that the song is very anti-goverment and anarchist in a since. However, I do not believe the "red flag waving" is specifically referring to anarchism. If this were the case then he could have just as easily chose black. I agree with most of the mainstream interpretations of the song but with some slight altercations. I believe he is referring to a specific type of communism known as anarcho-communism or libertarian communism. "red flag waving never meant the same". - Means that all currently implemented forms of communism have failed because, specifically, of governments but this time it is different, "never meant the same". "we don't need them" - I disagree with the interpretation that he is referring to our elders/ancestors. I think Billy is talking about government in general, we don't need government control and corruption. Hence, anarcho-communism. "Like a jury Needs a liar" - I believe he is referring to government corruption in general whether it be capitalist or the failed implementations of communism. "The kids of tomorrow don't need today when they live in the sins of yesterday" - Could be referring to the problems that greed and capitalism have caused for society. Kids of today have to live in these sins. This is what it means to me anyways. |
