| of Montreal – Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I always thought this was a song about having bi-polar disorder and using prescription drugs that don't always work the way they should to deal with it, and some times seems to restrict his creativity. | |

I disagree with any specific interpretation of the lyrics, I think it is more abstract and philosophical. I think this is a song about how we, as Americans take for granted, or forget, the consequences of all the things we need in life. I think the word resource in this song literally refers to ALL resources, it seems that all resources we, and all living things on this planet use, be it, food, materials, fuel, etc... requires us to destroy something in order to obtain it, be it plant life, animal life, other people (figuratively or in some cases literally), or the environment. We ignore that basic fact so much in our day to day lives that we forget that we are active participants in it, so when we are confronted by it, we fail to recognize we are part of it. |
