ostentation: a gaudy outward display
calumny: a false accusation of an offense or a malicious misrepresentation of someone's words or actions
penury: a state of extreme poverty or destitution
My first thought is that this song is talking about a specific event, as certain things seem to less pictoral and more real, like “children shoved into enclosed solitude in lack of value caused by minor defects”...”left to die on a bed of concrete”...”LOCKED UP”...”Hundreds in a room, staring with empty swollen eyes.” I guess it could relate to the Holocaust. But I guess the downside of writing songs in this sort of abstract rhetoric is that people aren’t going to know what you are talking about.
I also had an idea that this song could be concerning abortion, but then also thought that it could be about pollution. But who can say?
