Is There No One Who Can Save Us From Today? Lyrics

I see no signs of life
I see no easy cure
No cause for rejoice
No free or easy voice

Is there no one who can save us from today?

Music keeps you under control
Fashion dictates your role
Religion keeps you down below
This...this I know
Music keeps you under control
Music...

Is there no one who can save us from today?
Is there no one who can save us from today?
Is there no one who can make this go away?
Is there no one who can save us from today?

Is there no one..?

When he mentions "music keeps you under control", it can be interpreted as good or bad. But I think he's talking about it being a postive thing, considering he's a musician himself. And music really does keeps us under control, in a sense, because, like Snog's and a handful of other bands music, it gives us the "real deal", if you will. It's honest, which keeps us from being ignorant of the things going on around us... As opposed to some candy coated pop star singing about how good a relationship is.

I guess the only thing I can say what this song is about is that... society controls our every emotion, every action, anything. And we can't do anything about it because there's "no one who can save us from today", we're all so caught up in the society that's making this happen that we don't do anything about it ourselves.

"Music keeps you under control" describes the media as a drug which keeps us complacent in regards to doing something aout our world. Much like Heroin, TV or Xanax - would you rather sit at home popping pills or watching tv or listening to SNOG(R) or go out and fight to change the current oppressive system?
