Hi can't believe there aren't more comments on this song. IMO, this is, by far, the best APC song lyrically, and one of the best by MJK. The whole song is a satire on modern society and how we, as a species, are wrecking our world, or at least letting it be wrecked. The upbeat melody is sarcastically contrasting against the end of the world theme of the lyrics, evidenced with references to the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Throughout the song we get constant references to a nuclear holocaust ("atomic pageantry"/"Under the mushroom cloud confetti"/"In an afterwind"(and not empty wind btw)) which MJK sarcastically compares to a fireworks show. I believe the motivation behind this song is the constant displays of nuclear power between Trump and Kin Jong Un, to which MJK says "bravissimo". Instead of worrying about this, we waste our time and money with unnecessary things (apps, plastic surgery, nationalism (flags)...) Brilliant. |
