Lurius Vulpius , I think the lines "As the train goes by, they'll turn away Only doppler is effected not their hearts With a "better them than me" and a "better off this way" alludes to the way people will (and did) turn a blind eye to atrocities because a) it isn't happening to them (and if they get involved there's a possibility it might), and b) it's too horrific to admit to yourself that it's happening (and that you're passively allowing it); often it's psychologically easier to ignore it. How much suffering around the world appears in our newspapers and we give it a mere cursory glance and then turn the page "unaffected"?

I've seen "slipping in and out of unconsciousness" which would perhaps make more sense. |
