Cover art for Telegraph lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

This song to me is about the brainwashing of the planet Earth. People use words to brainwash when in fact the words could be something totally different the next day. Hence the written in sand.

It's most obvious in Government-Mind Control and the Media although others use it as well to rally a cause, Hitler for one. The real blinking lights are the eyes...the telegraphs. Seeing is believing but is it? This song points out the fact that it isn't it. Just because you read or hear something doesn't make it the truth...including an all powerful God.

You'll notice there are 3 lights in the video as you and everyone else has 3 as well. The telepathic eye, the one not seen is what this video is all about. You don't need words nor writing and truly not logos nor allegiance to a flag. All you need is equality. The symbology of three groups of three descending is quite telling to numerologists which it is obvious OMD has a higher level of understanding of.

Paul himself has the mark of the lightbringer...666 June 24, 1959. Of course...time doesn't exist but it's interesting he falls under the codes with that number. He has some real interesting numbers in fact but that's a different story and far too complex for this website.

This song is all about telepathy, letting music and actions speak and higher planes of existence.
