| I dont think its in MJK's nature to make a sad and dissapointing reference like this to anyone in particular, i believe this to be more of a global comentary. I do however agree about the tone of the music really setting the mood for the lyrical content. the opening reminds me greatly of that of 'disco king' as it was re-done by MJK, Bowie, D.Lohner,and Frusciante (RHCP) | |

A lot of people don't know this, but, because of melting polar ice caps, polar bears in the northern Canada/ Artic regions are dying because what used to be a short swim to the ice caps where they would birth and rear their cubs is now hundreds of miles causing death through exhaustion, drowning, hypothermia and just plan getting lost 'en route'. I believe this is what MJK is referencing here. I think he is using the image of the polar bear to represent humanity and suggesting with the first stanza that we as a species are "chipping away at our island" (earth). I'm also of the opinion that the lines "no need to bare it all alone / Ill be there" is, in true MJK style, religious satire referencing the huge portion of the population who believe that 'God' will come in once the degradation of our home has surpassed habitable and deliver(*)the 'good' unto salvation (**)or heaven. *No end in sight save your own **Hoping to fade and disappear into the white |
