| I share the same philosophy pal :/ Just take the economic crisis at the moment for example. Here in the UK and Europe it's been spiralling downwards for the past 5 years or so. If you look back in the past it usually bounces back, but what if a tipping point is reached this time... I don't think our current generation could cope with another great depression. | |

Absolutely stoked about hearing them play this one live. The transition into the break down is awesome, "NOW CHANGE THE WORLD". "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" - Margaret Mead. |

Perfect opening to the new album, combined with the intro track (System...). I love the direction that they've moved towards lyrically since Common Dreads. Like many of their new songs my interpretation is that they talk about the current state of the world and how the system we inherently live in will eventually result in a "system meltdown" but that there is still time to change it, we just need to stand up and act now. Favourite lines are at the end: "Fear starts to vanish when we begin to realise, that countries are just lines drawn in the sand with a stick" I think that this iterates the fact that nation boundaries are only an imagined construct, and that global unification is possible if we hold this realisation and drop our nationalistic ties (also imagined)("Fuck all borders and fuck all boundaries Fuck all flags and fuck nationalities), in order to propagate major change. |
