Cover art for Cataracts lyrics by Andrew Bird

i think this one is fairly easy...maybe. By uninvited tongues i think it means being conquered by another culture that speaks another culture. We'll be left without our mothers and fathers who would be killed in the conflict and then we would be forced lukewarm liquid or crap we don't believe in, due to our concrete value systems and will appreciate what we had before. We will be able to see in the night because we learn to reflect the light we dont want (just as cataracts and cats both do)but it shouldn't have to come to this so..if we stop accepting everything as true/right immediately and start finding the facts out for ourselves. Only by actively trying/working at being community minded can we prevent the takeover. let me know your opinions
