Passion Pit – Take a Walk Lyrics 13 years ago
does anybody else think he's talking about 3 different people?
1st verse, is the poor immigrant who scraped enough money together to bring his family over so they could all be together, and now that they're in, they've gone off to do their own thing.
2nd verse is the upper class CEO who's business partner lost all their money when the market crashed, and now he's on the hook with the investors, the media, and the government.
3rd verse is the average middle class guy who's in debt up to his eyeballs, is being over taxed because the poor cant pay and the rich can get out of it, he's getting older and afraid his wife doesn't find him attractive anymore, and who doesn't want his friends to know how bad off he is.

i think this song is looking at the spectrum of socio-economic statuses and saying that sometimes, we all just have to get away from our problems to realize what really matters to us.
