| Ugh from my post I needed to add one positive string - that standing Up and voicing your creativity ultimately progresses society and helps with ingenuity and new perspective, that may be something needed right at the time you do it! Don’t let society dictate your inner natural as so in your moral and ethical intentions are just! | |

This song is brilliant. It's tragic, really. I perceive this as someone who has a creative mind, but is unable to utilize it due to social / exogenous factors, less doing so would render them guilty of something or completely destroy there ability to function in society. For example, they may be working or doing something to make a living that they are "stuck" doing, and everything they represent to public view or outward perspective is NOTHING that they feel with moral or ethical value. It diminishes themselves and is the antithesis of their own creativity. The sad part is that I perceive this very similar to social thought in the US right now - judgment prior to attention and perception to form one's own thought. The singer knows that everything they say will be interpreted literally and without thought, diminishing their individuality and sense of purpose. To make positive change and contribution to self and society belonging. "Leers, Cheer, and whispers and tears. The final taste before you are taken away" Express all emotion you can, and relate it to all, before societal pressure or you either eliminates your care in what you love, or will kill you. You have one chance to stand up and make this decision - face the difficulty and punishment (even though moral and right), or die trying. |
