| The Strokes – Ize of the World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| S0nlxaftrsh0ck: That government thing is EXACTLY what I was thinking. When I saw that you wrote that I giggled a little bit. Anyway, the lines that end with -ize seem to follow the development of human life. Well, from "an egg to fertilize" to "generations to desensitize", anyway. The generations line is purposefully vague. From what are we desensitizing the generations? It is cut off because of the government censorship. The songwriters are getting too close to the answer. Now, from "a desk to organize" to the last line is the development of society. The "cities to vaporize" line could be foreshadowing more development in a bad way. The government is slowly killing off the "commoners" to help themselves get ahead. The vaporizing of cities is just another way of doing it. | |
