this song is about how people are replacing humanity with materialism and technology in our increasingly individually insular worlds. your car doesn't defy you, TV doesn't defy you, you're computer doesn't defy you, your gaming console doesn't defy you, your cellphhone doesn't defy you and people defy those devices less and less (preferring them over people). People are replacing people and the necessary real interactions and connections that come with them, good and bad, with technology
@emsquared it becomes ever more apparent as we become more entrenched in it, doesn't it? The more connected we feel technology has made us, the more alienated we become. Kafkaesque. But one day it will become the status quo, ubiquitous.
