Seems pretty obviously to be about government surveillance and trying to hide from it. Lots of shadowy entities watching everything you do. We "eliminated the spread" of terrorism but at the cost of certain personal freedoms. These days you *do* have to watch what you think (and especially what you type) because everything gets saved and filtered and parsed for potential impending acts of terrorism.
This album was released shortly after the Edward Snowden issue, maybe too quickly after that news item to have been influenced directly by it? I'm also wondering whether the "Yes We Can" is an Obama reference? Ties into the government bit, but I think more of Bush as signing away our privacy with the Patriot Act. |

This is *definitely* not instrumental past 2:08. It sounds like a refrain of two sentences, which I hear as "Every scene is a long dream ...get me some colors." |

I know just enough Spanish that the word "mantequilla" caught my attention at the end of the song. I perked up and thought, "Wait, why is he singing about butter??" |
