| Company of Thieves – Modern Waste Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is about a young woman who is drawn into the sex industry with the promise of fame and money. Over time she begins to see that it is destroying her, pulling her down and enslaving her to an empty life. She sees no way out. She is chained to her trade and her guilt. Then he enters her story. A man, someone who sees her for her true self and the beauty within. He encourages her to leave. He doesn't have much to offer, but believes they can make it. The struggle of weighing the security of her current cage and the uncertainty of freedom racks her mind. He says, "Take a chance; walk away!" In the end she puts her past behind her ("hide the pictures") and the take their first steps together, "on [their] own." This song is not only musically incredible, but also brings light to the ever growing problem of pornography and the hypersexuality of today's society. Hundreds of women are trapped in this same situation, threatened with violence and abused to the point of feeling worthless and undeserving of anything more. Porn edits out the consequences of unhealthy sex practices and poisons our minds with lies. Its high time influential individuals in todays media speak out against the harmful effects of pornography.
