While both of you bring up very valid and probable ideas, it is well expressed by the band that the album as a whole is about the story and ideas created by the book Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I think Exogenesis is Matt's interpretation of what happened after the book concludes, creating a future where Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia destroy each other as a result of the endless wars, forcing the survivors to send people out in a last ditch effort to save the human race. I totally agree with your views on it being about war, and it's likely also about killing this planet (due to the fact that they have to leave)...but I think there are a couple of other acceptable interpretations. The prefix 'exo-' means outside and the word genesis means origin, creation or beginning; so it is fair to assume that this could possibly be an origin story to human life on earth (which would make a lot of sense looking at the cover). Just a few thoughts I had, if you haven't read Nineteen Eighty-Four, I recommend it...very well written and you'll notice a lot of connections between the book and this entire album. |

You need to take off that tin foil hat and stop believing every little fairy tale you read on the internet. Yes, most governments are full of evil people, but that's just how the world is. The human race naturally has a severe case of asshole-itis, and you're a prime example. Why not accept the fact that people are allowed to have their own opinions rather than belittle them for disagreeing with you? I'll tell you this much, your ways of sharing your opinion makes everyone else want to disagree with it even more. And I don't believe that your claims of Matt being a NWO believer are entirely sound. The guy likes conspiracies...they're fun to research, and they can provide good lyrics occasionally. You never directly stated that Matt believed that 9/11 was planned, but it was implied...while he once shared this belief, he has since withdrawn those statements, claiming that he "changed his mind" about it. He has said in interviews that he "Doesn't want people using their music for strange, obscure political movements." I think that the offensive people like yourself can fit into that category. Your take on 'The Resistance' is also very doubtful, seeing that Matt has stated multiple times that the themes of that album are heavily influenced by George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' (without a doubt a fictional story, regardless of fairly accurate predictions of present day society), and that clearly shows in the lyrics. You may call me a hypocrite for calling you out for disrespecting other people's opinions and then using similar methods on you, but I wouldn't be writing this if you weren't so hateful to begin with. This is a website that openly accepts everyone's opinion, so next time make an effort to not be an arrogant douche. |

I find this take very interesting and a highly likely meaning to the song. I realize that you mentioned that you won't be logging back into this site, and pardon my question if it's cliche (I figured I'd ask anyways in the off chance of you accidentally stumbling upon it), but I'd like to hear your opinions of Publius Enigma. I feel that it's more of a message than a puzzle, trying to convey that the world doesn't know how to properly communicate with each other anymore unless there's a "prize" or a personal gain. This would make some sense as after all of the arguing that The Wall and The Final Cut brought, Roger didn't try to solve any of the band's problems until years later, in which he threatened to sue the other guys just so he could get a hefty check for something wrong that he caused.
I don't know, maybe I am just talking to myself like you suggested. But if anyone reading this wants to share their thoughts with me and help me further understand this forgotten mystery, please feel free...I get on here fairly often. |
