this is my favorite song. not just say anything, but in the whole world. i saw sa play in nj (sooo good live.) and max said that when he was younger he was fascinated with new jersey. so the begining part is about nj. i love how he describes industry as beautiful garbage. perfect. i think its beautiful in its own way myself. almost as if humankind's mistakes may be ugly and dirty, but they're also beautiful because we learn from them and move on. i love new jersey. the place he played in was certainly a shithole town, so i think he definitely got a taste of the beautiful garbage. i think when he talks about his family (and its TROPHY unfaithful spouse) he says he sees the same things over and over again in his travels across the country, which i guess he resents, because that means he may be as original and smart as he likes, but some aspects of his life can still mirror others peoples. i also love the way he says the earth is green with envy. so poetic. and my favorite part is his last when he tells us to free ourselves from mental prostitution- my favorite quote.
