| Smash Mouth – Force Field Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| Deer lord have I been listening to this song so much lately. I know it was released in 2001, but man does it feel so appropriate for right now. The bargain bin mask, don\'t touch, keep your distance, and don\'t tap the glass feel way more on the mark for living in a post covid world. I just picture a poor "essential worker" trying to keep it together while they stand behind plexiglass(or their forcefield) while they are forced to deal with the Karen of the world. | |

I might be way off base here but I have always pictured a bunch of people playing competitive video games with each other. "Born is a human with a kung fu spine" that's your typical fighting game character, and "Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind" That's the video game controller in your hand with which you tell the game character how to act. "to get to the top of the hill" maybe a stretch but a lot of game have a king of the hill as a game mode. "Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks" plenty of racing/kart racing games where this is a mechanic. "it's the madness that's keeping us up all night" its almost a cliche, staying up late playing video games. "Born is a human with mechanics to win; Born is machine with a human tucked in" I think this is just hammers in the dynamic of these individuals interacting through the video game. "Your honor your honor its not me; It's the invisible visible evil powers that be" and this is when you cry fowl because your button got stuck, or input lag, or you totally push left and not forward, left, LEFT. |
