wow, that's so interesting that the chicks said this is about their marriages cuz i didn't immediately think it was a song about traditional marriages and relationships. i kinda thought, and stay with me here, that this was a sort of statement on how americans are and how they feel about their government, administration and authority figures. like it's okay to not know the reality of the world, especially in what's going on outside of america, because we've got the government and media telling us it's okay and are always there to protect us. and since we don't necessarily have to worry about what's happening outside of america, because we're so well taken care of inside of it, that it's almost like it doesn't even have to affect us and we can just retreat to the easy silence of where ignorance is bliss, and we can just ignore world events and not have to worry about it. any sounds of help can be muffled whenever we go into that easy silence that was made for us, cuz the world is kept at bay for us. we're just so seperate and safe.
sorry about my argument being muddled, i switch from using the term americans as a third party to the inclusive we, cuz i'm american.
anyway, i thought that's what they were getting at. maybe i should write a song about that, since this one obviously isn't. lol.
