the ghost is a band who makes their live shows all the better by adding one important aspect that most other bands. it has nothing to do with alcohol, or cheesy lighting or firework displays, but simply, short explinations of each song before they play.
like "i wrote this one night when i was just about to go to class, i got to school early and i saw these people doing....." ect.
that stuff to me, is awesome. to see his connection, and compare it to mine.
anyway, after listening to this cd constantly after it came out, ive come to the conclusion, that this song is about mass media influence on weak, or uneducated people.
to me, it seems as if hes mad that when he drives around, he sees all these kids who are so engrossed in wearing their hurley shirts, and having the sun glasses on, or riding in ghetto cars sportin' fubu, and he knows its all a marketed image, and the makers of the products they wear dont give a damn about the kids.
the "few pretty faces, in ugly places, small towns where you would never stop"
that continues on with the same thing i was talking about because its very easy for someone like britany spears to perform at a city outside of a larger city, to draw the crowd of kids who are either, completely isolated from a large city, thereby not having gained any experiance to the "tired schemes" that marketers put out, and/or are so dependent on image, that if its strippe from them, they feel they have no place in the world.
he talks about how pointless trends are, magents floating in a metal sea. once the magnets float past another magent, or trend, the metal attaches onto that. destroying all originality and motivation for anyone to strive to be better.
