| The Grates – science is golden Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| It's about religion and how bullshitty it is. Science is golden, it has an explanation for everything, whether or not we know it yet. Don't live by the restrivtive rules of some ancient book, make up your own mind. | |

I think No_One_Really may be on to something. I think it has a media-esque slant to it. “This time of day” may well be prime time - when the very best of the bullshit is doled out. “You could reverberate; you could decay.” The media can offer stimulating or decaying effects on the noggin, depending on the attitude of the beholder. We’re being manipulated by “the mouse and the model” - Mickey Mouse and mass-produced skinny women, the ultimate landlords of television and film. When we’re desperate with no-one left to trust, we'll still have our faithful box. “Let's start a new heart; the new charts are in. We'll take them, we'll break them, we'll make them give in.” The chorus and the rest of the song makes me think of reality TV – for every new season, there is a fresh batch of suckers to be fucked over for the entertainment of the brainless populace and the pockets of the media moguls. “By counting your blessings, you wind up in debt.” The nice guys are first off the cliff. “It starts with your family and camps in your bed” The all-pervading variety of reality TV programs. Stick whatever you like under the microscope: family life, sex, whatever. “You Jekyll and hide it” – You divide yourself a hundred of different personas for the benefit of the ratings. Let your guard down, your dress up” – Loosened morals and promiscuity make for better viewing. “The flipside of reason” is that wacky land of TV. “We'll tax them, relax them, and make them forfeit.” The producers are cheating the contestants out of their prize money. “The vote by a landslide, the Jekyll and Hyde.” Two-faced pretence makes for bloodier competition and more interesting contestants; the Jekyll/Hyde/Mackenzie/Macabre/Bonnie/Clyde aspects of the person win over the audience who collectively snap their little thumbs voting ‘til the cows came home, and, YES!, the bastard won!!! |
