This song describes what a music scene should be, with bands singing their hearts out about something that means a lot to them, getting everything they are thinking out into lyrics, out into a song, and this is survival for them, like rice and bread, the basics need for survival, what the breath in, how they live. Towards the end of the song where it says "you can make an industry selling people the things they want to hear" hits at the music scene today. The only reason why certain records are put on the shelves is because that's what people want to buy. Quality doesn't mean anything anymore, except in the undergroudn music scene where quality in lyrics and a good message to music is what makes music good. I adore the last line "it will take us farther than the posture you're fronting."
