| OK Go – Before The Earth Was Round Lyrics | 11 years ago |

Sounds like a satirical refutation of nostalgia-fueled reminiscence of 'the good old days'. "Back in the good old days, things were better. Not in any way that facts and figures could demonstrate, not in any way that holds up to close examination, but the quality was different and something's been lost!" The second half of the song then goes on to make absurd accusations, echoing the cries of the 'world is burning' types. (Who's forgotten anything? War is at relative low in history. Love is perfectly intact. Feelings and logic _should_ be separate. Fear and doubt aren't new. Not touching the religious one. The sky is still honestly blue.) Kinda writing this because the rest of the comments seem to suggest the lyrics support the nicer imagery of the first half. |
