Largely, I agree with yos0yskaboss. I beleive what the band is saying is that there are no good answers in life, no "free lunch". Bottom of the barrel, referring to how people can feel like they are running out of answers.
"all I know is that I dont know nothing" is right up there with the wisdom of the ancient Socrates. Basically, 2000+ years have gone by and we are still learning this. |

I think the song means alot of things. To me personally and on a larger scale. First, the lyric "Fast cars, cheap thrills, rich girls, fine wine" and subsequent, are referring to the materialistic world many of us tend to slip into. This is charged up even more by this... "it's a futuristic modern world but things aren't what they seem someday you'd better wake up from this stupid fantasy".
The part where he says, "Things seem so much different now, the scene has died away" reminds me of the two deaths of Sid and Nancy, which happened just 2 years before the release of this song. Those two deaths shook the punk rock world. Things would never be the same again and I think this particular lyric reflects that angst. |

"Our eyes criss-cross, hold and gaze" and mentioning it as a disease, yea, I say the meaning is obvious. Plus I think the underlining message is that people become dumb from all of this too. Not many people I know of in my neighborhood knows anything about history or science or even how there very own body works, but they know what happened on last nights football game or what happened on yesterday's episode of friends. Makes me sick... think I'll go watch some tv now. |
