| Scars On Broadway – 3005 Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
My take is that this song is Daron's comment on global warming. Probably written in 2005 from the perspective 1,000 years on in 3005. Basic components of ideas: -Clapping hands that the show is over for everybody, good, evil, in between. A genocide of the human race and everything we've done (internet, Mickey Mouse, etc). -The spaceship reference combined with the comments about sinking under the ocean and losing ground means that the only place to survive will be "in the air" above it all. -The ending about "every other motherfucker that's burnin up in this house" draws the ideas back to the present day that we are slowing burning ourselves away. -I haven't figured out whether the "shooting up the world" phrase is about shooting at the world or shooting up in the drug sense of the last survivor in a spaceship above a waterworld remembering what things were like. Getting high on samples of what used to be. The drug analogy makes more sense to me. Final comment: I do not believe there is man-made global warming and that whatever is going on are just normal fluctuations. For all of Daron's resistance to establishment power, I wish he would see that the leftist ideas he parrots are as much an establishment power as any other. The true skeptic sees the global warming movement as a threat to the individual just as much as right wing ideologies. |
