weak sister is a methaphor. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/weak%20sister the song could be about the traveling to the west for freedom and escape persecution, but the sad fact at the end of the day is that, even here in america nothing is changing, the world is still prejudice. "lay your burdens down and fall asleep". don't let the oppression keep you from sleeping. "nothing is changing, nothing is breaking" nothing is changing at fast rates, no need to be upset, because nothing is breaking. the world still functions even though its discriminatory. the song says enjoy life for what it is and that you if you're are a "weak sister" you need to realize you are better off alone because everyone is out there to hurt you. but we need to help our "weak sisters"!! THE SONG IS A CALL TO ACTION!!! WE NEED TO HELP OUR WEAK SISTERS!! the whole nightgown thing could be a reference to women and that they need assistance to end the oppression. "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE" you're better off if no one knows you, no one oppressing you, and you're better off alone, because you should not need someone to take care of you, instead we should be taking care of each other mutually. also things have to break to change. if nothing is breakign, nothing is changing, so we need conflict to have change!!! we need to stop waiting and start breaking/making change. we don't need to want all those things, which then become needs. we don't need all those things which are essentially wants!!! |
