I think there are three possible interpretations of this: One, it is in fact Lake Ontario, one of the biggest sources of fresh water in the world and horribly polluted, and this is just a tongue-in-cheek shot at the neglect and ignorance that led to its current state by pretending to be a justification of our attitude. It doesn't matter if we're destroying you. I'm a popstar (Britney Invisible) and you're just a lake, not the ocean. Two, it could be Canada talking to the United States. Three, it could be the United States talking to Canada. I think this is perhaps more likely with the "I'm better to watch," "Britney Invisible," and "you can think and feel and get out of your own way" parts, as well as a few other similar lines. |
