| Manic Street Preachers – Motorcycle Emptiness Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
It's about (social) alienation as a result of consumerist culture and commodification of pretty much everything (including people). I think the line "Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths" may refer to postmodern relativism and plurality of discourses in contemporary world, which lead to even greater feeling of emptiness and as a result strengthen the consumerist attitudes in the society. But maybe I'm reading too much into this. "Yes" explores similar ideas. Sometimes I think these are the best song lyrics ever written. Guy Debord would probably be proud. |
