It's clear. This song is about what will happen to us in the end, whatever the end may be. All we know is that we are causing the end, but we can't seem to do anything about it... or can we? We know we are causing the problems, but why can't we stop it? And will it be too late? "Black mirror knows no reflection, knows not pride or vanity Cares not about your dreams, cares not for your pyramid schemes Their names are never spoken The curse is never broken, the curse is never broken" Humankind's eventual downfall doesn't care (metaphorically) about how close you came to ALMOST caring or almost stopping bad things from happening. |

| Arcade Fire – Neon Bible Lyrics | 18 years ago |

In the light they both looked the same Poured them out on into the world On every boy and every girl I think this pretty much secures how I feel about this song in the idea of how the world is becoming desensitized to bad news and good news. We hear about murders and rape and people dying every day and we hardly blink about it. Someone's birthday? Baby born? Big deal, anymore, right? Well, you lost him but you don't know how In the light of a golden calf In the light of things 'WOW' and commercial, we are being drawn to constantly boost our interest. This is a song about a lot of the things you guys have mentioned. It is a song about commercialization, television, and its about religion too. How can we keep our minds focused on religion when there are neon signs flashing everywhere, distracting us? They've got to join in too. Neon Bible. |
