i think this song is about the ever impending revolution. It's also a critique of capitalist society primarily about the horrid personalities that develop within those societies. Murderous, never satisfied, alienated, unable to truly relate, elitist ("'beauty is a man-made crime.'"). "'Most are, most were, will do it again'" is a beautiful postpostmodern (for the lack of until we define ourselves) rendering of what will happen in the crime of creating a hierarchy based in beauty. "'Most are'"...beautiful. This denotes that some are not; this is a true representation of "inner beauty" because let's all stop hating each other for the things we have no power to change (naturally) like physical beauty. Let's face it, some people are hideous but who cares, they can't help it nor should they be made to feel bad about how they look. "'Most were'" is more problematic to decipher. This refers to how older people idolize youth. We all look better younger. Just as jeans wear out so does beauty; deal with it and don't become one of the only things that will survive the nuclear holocaust besides cockroaches, Joan Rivers. "'Will do it again...'". Will commit the crime of elitism, in some form, again. I'm sure there's more I'm leaving out, but the primary lesson of this song is in the lyric "I have to lose my idols
to find my voice" since as long as we predicate what we allow ourselves to be on what other people might think of us, our entire being is in bad faith, is inauthentic. Our only idol should be ourselves, not in an arrogant way, but in a way we want to do what we truly want and achieve everthing we're capable of. Don't forget this song is revolutionary.
"Oh I'll just fight now, relock and release,
I thought you'd always be my brother in conflict
Drums beat, it's just the son and the beast
I thought you'd always be my brother in conflict, now"
They did a little documentary on the making of the album this song was on. It's on youtube so you can watch it if you want. BUT I think what they were saying this song is about was how music used to be a "brother in conflict" and it's becoming more of a job. Also, I they said it's about the stress of trying to produce music, from working with other people on it and also trying to stay real(not the word I'm looking for?) when creating art. I relate that to the line "I have to lose my...
