I'm not going to even try to interpret this song- all I know is that the lyrics invoke these amazing pictures for me. The song is some sort of reflection of mankind, at times I feel it's referring to war, at times I feel it carries the same message as so many other VNV songs do- that if the world were to end, what have we accomplished?
All I know is that these lyrics are some of the most powerful I have ever known. I love the lines "Away , you wretched world of tethers" and "Through the screams of falling steel/By the light of flares and wisdom" and "marked the land with paper statues"
THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING SONG
