This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
In the unlikely event
That sarcasm is an unfitting dress
Amnesia proletariat
Amnesia proletariat
Coughing up the coffins
Cotton candy coated teeth
The reflection of your enamel
Made no reflection in our mirror
Malfunction
These pockets were clinching
All filled with fists
These decibels were rotted
In the canals of my teeth
Amnesia proletariat
Amnesia proletariat
Sharpened on the fucking hides of men
In the full of this moon we will make amends
Malfunction
Whispered in the ear
Three hundred megahertz
That sarcasm is an unfitting dress
Amnesia proletariat
Amnesia proletariat
Coughing up the coffins
Cotton candy coated teeth
The reflection of your enamel
Made no reflection in our mirror
Malfunction
These pockets were clinching
All filled with fists
These decibels were rotted
In the canals of my teeth
Amnesia proletariat
Amnesia proletariat
Sharpened on the fucking hides of men
In the full of this moon we will make amends
Malfunction
Whispered in the ear
Three hundred megahertz

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This may be a far fetched idea here but mhz is the abbrevaiation for megahertz, but pronounce hertz. Mega Hurts. You understand? It goes great with the idea about how Russia was fucking its proletariats. a proletariat owned no factors in production and they made their living selling their own hardships, farming, crafting and such.
Heres something too the line "these decibles were rotted". Cedric uses the other meanings of many words in this case he uses decible in the sense that -A unit used to express relative difference in power or intensity The power of the communist was rotting, just before it fell through.
"The reflection of your enamle" is talking about how the government tried to cover up their persecution Enamel - A cosmetic intended to give the appearance of a smooth and beautiful complexion They covered up their persecution of the proletariat with the "enamel" but people saw through the cover up.
Malfuntion may refer to the down turning of the communist regime.
So yes I think that explains it pretty well. And tsucol no, no way. Don't compare them to Rage. RATM was just tom morello with some musicians around him. RATM was supposedly political, but ask cedric and omar, they will tell you that ATD-I was NOT a political band.
It seems like atleast some people here don't know the meaning of what proletariat is... the proletariat is people who don't offer anything else than their manpower. Anyway I also think that this song is about the soviet union, and i agree with what vacantfademe wrote...but at first i didn't understand "the cotton candy coated teeth"... but after a while it seems obvious for me [since i think it's about soviet] that he is referring to all the cotton fields that they forced people to set up to make the country become more self-supporting around the aral lake (i think that it is the english name for it, (im swedish)) that has made the lake totally drain out... so what use to be the third biggest lake in the world is today more like a puddle in comparison.
the band takes a stand against society and gets labelled as copying rage against the machine. everyone has their own passion and view....you cant fake it. let the guys express it. props to them!!!
its saying that the soviet union tried to cover everything up, hence "amnesia proletariat" a proletariat was part of the soviet working class. so basically i think its about the soviet union. im probably retarded though.
hmm, rage against the machine, anyone?????
yes next time I see cedric or get a ring from ol' omar I'll be sure to ask them...haha sorry, had to say that. Great song though...
i know rage sucks, but this song reminds me of them so much
Does anyone have the words he is saying at the end in the other language?
que?
