I feel the "racism" angle is a decent interpretation. "Let's go! It's never too late to be early Or try and maintain Some scrap of integrity and certainty I guess." --Society making great strides at equality, never too late for that...cool I guess? "(My fingers) Won't apologize (Are blistered and bleeding) And 1977 Was a long time (Was a long time) Time ago (Time ago) I don't care. I don't care how things Were and I won't Apologize. I won't apologize. Fuck you." -- The part about his fingers I feel is about how slaves had to pick cotton and do all that manual labor, well it's not as if he doesnt have to work for himself he gets his hands dirty. 1977 I feel is just a time in the past where society was still working on equal rights little by little, but that was a long time ago and society is much further a long, and I sure as hell won't apologize for the past I wasn't a part of. And stop shoving it down white peoples throats that black people were once slaves in the past, fuck you for trying to make me feel bad for it. "And the Alamo penetrated And there is little hope For the white man so Hop on your rainbow And ride (My fingers) So I'll ride it into (Are blistered and bleeding) And ride into oblivion For all I care (There's no longer) You could be early (Discomfort) Or late (That you brought) Whatever!" The alamo penetrated or the shit is hitting the fan with all the PC fanatics flipping out over the littlest thing. No hope for the white man because we are all the devil right, we all enslaved the black man(sarcasm). (To the PC people and society and general) so hop on your rainbow and ride it to your fantasy land where everything is perfect. And i guess I'll be forced to ride it with you but to me its oblivion(or to him just bullshit)..... Ugh whatever Idgaf If this is the case dont misconstrue this with him being a racist, quite the opposite in fact. That's my interpretation :) Great song whatever it means :D |
