@[atzenkalle:7615] I believe you are right - I looked up the quote, and it's from a French political activist who leaned toward the writings of Marx. The tone of the song is very anti-imperialist, and it makes sense that the boy is turning to another form of guidance when the others have failed. +1 to you! |

This song is about someone who is completely broken. They want to do and feel everything, but are trapped by some outside force. In the end, they want to die, and morn their own death, as they need to escape, but at the same time, regret everything they have lost. |

Clearly this song is about the supposed secret assassin of John F. Kennedy, from the viewpoint of the assassin himself. |

I don't think this is really what the song is about, but a funny thought occurred to me. You know how girlfriends are always asking what you're thinking? Taking this song mixed with Cliffhanger (1), it's like some guy is zoned out having an awesome daydream and his girlfriend wants to know what's inside his head to see if he was paying attention to her.
He knows it's a risk to tell her what he's really thinking, but he has to choose between her being mad for not telling and suspects that she'll be mad if he tells the truth, but it's better than lying. He decides to just tell her, and she finds out that it's not sentimental or about what they're doing together, that's when the avalanche starts. :P |

I thought it was pretty clear that the little book with a red cover was a Quran, not a bible. The entire verse describes war from the viewpoint of a Muslim child, probably in Iraq or Afghanistan. This is further backed up by the line saying "At times like this you pray, But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday."
The first part of the song is from the American viewpoint, and the things that they are angered by, and how they think that the world is laughing at their leader; the second part from the viewpoint of the outside world, watching the leader stuttering and lying and feeling scared and angry, not laughing. |
