I would agree with Kareyn. And with the underwater theme and the Noah passage, I think the verse about the trunk of Noah's clothes is a reference to the Flood. Which originally was caused because their was too much evil on the earth. I think Sam is suggesting that we have forgotten love with all this war. With the lines "With your bible and your wedding band Both hidden on a TV stand" he uses two symbols of love. It shows how quick we are to forget this because of our television shows and the hyperbole on such shows. Also I think the title carousel shows how war and peace are a cycle that humans always fall into. As seen by the reference to past wars. |
