Allegedly this song is about Oslo, the capital of Norway, and the fakeness of the city (Oslo just turned 1000 years old - "a thousand years of lies and still they gotta fake it"). The violins and such at the end of the song is actually the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra, but its said they did not know of the name of the song when recorded. (I think the lyrics really is "you dont wanna make it your home, not ...make it, go home...", but thats just me.) --- Ashburton Grove is going to be our new home. --- |

The most obvious meaning to the first lines and the fact that "We" are used along with my favourite line "All the years of propaganda" is the "brainwashing" you get as a soldier in training. "We" as in a whole and a greater good of some sort. "We all fall" can be translated as if one solider dies the whole campaign suffers, but the harsh reality is that "we fall alone"... My English is not 100% as its my second language, but the part about steel machines and euphoria has transformed into muted dreams is to me a proof of how (good) the propaganda and training soldiers recieve actually are - leading to the part "dreaming of the day that we - attack". The song is almost played as a happy tune, turning the bombing and killing into something joyable, almost as if the irony is all too visible. Who can really know, though... anyways one of my definite favourites |
