This song, to me, is about the let-down of capitalism. Just work, waste time online, and live like a mindless robot so you can have money to buy material things to feel as if you've "made it". |

this is in response to DaveyHavoc666's comment. i'm assuming by "his wife" you meant dustin's wife. and so if he wrote that about jews, what bugs me is that he says "and although we'll never reach perfection always persist to try". he could be talking about how man will never reach perfection, but according to DaveyHavoc666 it's about jews, so as a christian (yeah, i said it), is dustin saying that jews are more imperfect than christians? it wouldn't really surprise me. |

no, i don't think dustin is saying fuck evolution and chemical reactions completely. i think he's intelligent enough to know that those are valid absolutes to the way the human anatomy funtions on a microbiological level. but i think he, just like a ton of other people, also believes that there is a spiritual essence to humans, and this is the key that bridges the gap between an "empty vessel" and a person who can love, hate, write poetry, and feel the pain of a broken heart. and he isn't necessarily refering to evil, angels, and ghosts in terms of their typical meaning. by "evil to rise up above", i don't think dustin is refering to Satan, and i don't think he's thinking of cherubs when he sings about "angels". those words are used metaphorically, in my opinion. but regardless of whether you think it's a religious song or not, it's an amazing song to say the least. the lyrics obviously spark critical thought in the minds of the youth, which is something music should do more often. and the music itself is breath-taking. the guitar chords and progressions, the yelling of certain lines by all the band members in unison.....all of this and more make it my favorite thrice song. |

i'm surprised nobody has commented on this song. this is by far my favorite distillers song. it fascinates me the way she compares herself to the city of berlin. you'd think that is such a crazy comparison but it works beautifully. berlin is no longer divided, but the ghost of the segregation of east and west still remains. and just like there is an intangible division within berlin, there is some sort of intangible internal division within brody, or whomever can personally relate to this song. it's brilliant.i wonder if she's ever been there. |
