Cover art for Point #1 lyrics by Chevelle

For me this song is defiantly about bankers, and debt and how basically people are fucked.

I view it as pushing towards a revolution with uncertainty as to the violence/peace ratio required.

'It seems I've gained the world, but have nothing' Humans have inherited the whole planet, but normal people don't own shit and are forced to rent themselves out to the few that own it. Or could be from the point of view of those who do own the whole world, who still have nothing cause all they do is cause suffering, hide in shadows, and get despised by anyone that pays enough attention to notice and then they die like the rest of us.

More likely the form as it maintains a consistent point of view, I just kinda like the latter.

'To keep tabs upon this loss, isn't wasted time' It may seem fucking hopeless cause they're so fucking ridiculously powerful right now, but its still worth it... maybe someday

'Face opportunities to recognize now we have the time' We CAN do something, we have some free time now, slavery's chains are as loose as they've been, our capacity for awareness is unprecedented, So long as you can see them you can cast them off, the universe as given no indication that the period of dying for freedom has ended,

'Rebuke' -verb: to express sharp, stern disapproval of; reprove; reprimand. 'don't choke on this twisted dream' Yup this place (the world) is pretty fucked, don't let it make you give up, keep going, fight as hard as you can, survive.

'Pay for the, whole sum' is debt, the whole fucking global economy is debt driven. In theory the hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of debt presently maintained are supposed to be paid off, riiight.

Point number one is so long as I've got unimaginable sums of money (think trillions) fuck everyone else. Wage a war on anyone that might challenge my right to it. This policy magnifies pain.

'We need a healing aloe plant Your soothing hands Run down my back' Hope. A wish for evolution to occur peaceably, like maybe if we just promise to hold the bankers and get them laid maybe they'll agree to stop being evil without us having to get together and impolitely ask them to leave the planet, same routine this time with nukes, we'll see how it goes (for any bankers reading this I suggest you strongly consider the being loved, held and getting laid while renouncing evil offer)

'Hate - Well couldn’t do, couldn’t do no wrong Hate - Do... this could do you in' Maybe they won't agree, maybe they think they're God and they're gonna awaken the hate of the conscious universe (Think 'Wrath of God' only meant to express meaning). The Wrath of God tends to do those who incur it in.

I agree with chino definitely a spiritual song aimed towards those with a greater than normal sense of awareness, but also I think trying to make aware someone who may not be, it's definitely intentionally cryptic, it begs you to try and figure out what it could mean, what is is you may lack that prevents it from having obvious meaning. In case anyone was having trouble seeing how the devil manifests itself in this world I tried to make it as explicit as possible.

Thanks to anyone that read this far, Hope it was worth it.

good shit
