This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
How can i just set a part that's so full?
how can i just read a part that's so cold?
you feeling depressed?
you can fill in the rest.
how bout when they read to you?
how bout when you sang right along?
how bout when they read from these zines
how bout when you read right along?
begin transmission
of our position
receive transmission
of their position
were trapped in the drift
entirely inside alone
a microtonic wave
forces us further
how bout when they read to you?
how bout when you sang right along?
how bout when they read from these zines
how bout when you read right along?
I can see your mouth move, know you're lying.
another generation of kids not buying
you
feeling the crush ( a microtonic wave )
to get out of town?
begin transmission
of our position
receive transmission
of their position
were trapped in the drift
entirely inside alone
caught inside the booth.
hanging up the phone.
covered in loose change and
bits of paper.
crawled inside the store.
clinging onto no one.
covered in his shame.
hang me by my thumbs.
cauterize my scars in scum.
begin transmission
of our position
receive transmission
of their position
were trapped in the drift ( they fall further. )
entirely inside alone
a microtonic wave ( they fall further down. )
forces us further
take them home.
take them home.

i like the microtone idea and the microtomic idea.
i don't really think titles mean alot to pinback. (they through darts at a map for some titles)
to say it simply. it's about death.
Begin transmission Of our position (on earth) Receive transmission Of their position (dead) Were trapped in the drift Entirely inside alone A microtonic wave (small amount of happiness) Forces us further (closer would be death)
you know maybe it's about a clashing clique that rob and absiv don't agree with. and the microtomic/microtonic wave (train of thinking/thoughting) forces them further from agreement.
