Insignificance Lyrics
All in all it's no one's fault
Excuses turn to carbon walls
Blame it all on chemical intercourse
The swallowed seeds of arrogance
Breeding in the thoughts of ten
Thousand fools that fight irrelevance
The full moon is dead skin
The one down here's wearing thin
So set up the ten pins
As the human tide rolls in
Like a ball that's spinning
Bombs dropping down
Overhead, on the ground
It's instilled
To want to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
"Turn the jukebox up," he said
Dancing in irreverance
Play C-3
Let the song protest
The plates began to shift
Pefect lefts come rolling in
I was alone and far away
Hey
When I heard the band start playing
On the lip they take off
Bombs dropping down
Overhead, underground
It's instilled
To want to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
Feeling like resonance of distance
In the blood the iron lies
It's instilled
To want to live
Bombs dropping down
Please forgive our hometown
In our insignificance
"the full moon is dead skin, the one down here is wearing thin"
the moon is a lifeless place with no atmosphere. the earth is full of resources, and we just gluttonously consume them without thinking of the consequences might be. as technology has improved and industries have become more efficient, the demand for manpower has decreased. so in order to feed their families, people have artifically created needs so they can have a job. SUVs, spinning hubcaps and everything in between are not things we needs, but are things created by people who need to feed their families. The downside? We're just gluttonously consuming our world's resources so we can make this shit and not even thinking about the consequences. We're killing ourselves as a species more and more quickly every day and bringing the world's ecosystem closer to the status of the moons: nonexistent.
in slovenia (former yugoslavia) ed was talking about slobodan milosevic being an asshole & he then introduced this song by saying that it was about "being a human & being part of a town, and having nothing in common with the decisions your political representatives may be making on your behalf"...
I think this is one of the best ever PJ songs. Absoloodle one of my favourites!!! Great music and intelligent lyrics like "The full moon is dead skin, the one down heres wearing thin" Just makes me angrier at what we human do everyday to this planet.
people acting in rage to protest is immature and infantile. They laugh at their stupidity, while sitting in the corner of any bar playing the jukebox. "let the song protest." You are just making it worse. You are the America foreigners hate. I don't blame them.One's voice can be heard if done properly. It is simple. Think about it.
@relsserb easy chief, nothing like a intelligent person to throw blanket statements like that, and for the record, Americans hate all foreigners hahahahahahaha fuck off dipshit And yes, this irony is not lost on me. Now once again, fuck off

Ummm, at the risk of sounding stupid, no real risk I think every1 who knows me knows the answer to that, are you having a go at me, PJ, The song or the people the song is about????
kinda remids you of the situation today in Iraq... "Bombs dropping down Please forgive our hometown In our insignificance"
In Adelaide on the 16th of February 2003 Eddie said something to the effect of;
"this songs about a small town where we come from, there's a plant that a lot of people are employed by. They make planes and some of the planes are used for the military. It's Boeing, so it was written about what it is to work at Boeing but not to know or care that what you make is going to end up killing people"
So I guess that's it, could look pretty insignificant/innocent to sweep up parts at a plane factory but is it right to contribute to a company that contributes towards war?
This song just makes me want to boogie on down to the voting booth.. Lyrics are really cool. Ed's little solo in the bridge is f*ckin kickass, makes my hair raise every time. Ah, so "feel like resonance of distance" could mean that the workers feel the effects of their work (making bombs) "resonating" in a distant land (Iraq for example)..And the "iron" used to make the war machines really 'lies' in their 'blood', meaning it's their own will (or lack of it) that's causing the destruction...gotta love this song.
Can someone explain "the full moon is dead skin" part?
This song is incredable simply because the pre-choras actually sounds like a bomb is being dropped, and things are going nuts.
