6 min ago Rated -1 I see the meaning of the song differently. I think it's about Western society (not just America, because the band's British), capitalism, and the direction are cultures seem to be going. The "they" that laugh as we fall are big businesses - and perhaps by an extension, governments. People who are lucky can also be the big businesses and people of wealth in general. We're falling because of troubled economic times. We don't have a chance at "fate" because the common person can't change the economic situation, while big businesses can get bail-outs (which goes against natural selection.) Bellamy wants the truth - which is for the big businesses and governments to admit their corruption. He wants the common person to not be treated like nothing - but as something great and powerful that needs to be listened to (hence the reference to the ocean.) His atheism shows through a little; he doesn't want religion or propaganda to make people believe that this is their fate - being subordinate to businesses and governments. He wants people to realize that they have power and influence in their societies and they need to do something to make their conditions better. Or maybe I sound like I'm suggesting Muse wants a Proletariat uprising - I don't know. (Yeah, I posted this twice..) |
