it may be a requiem for today's youth who are angry about having to grow up in a dying world because of the excessive and egocentric natures of last few generations who have preceded them
not only is the world dying, but slavery (in the form of wage slavery) is more prevalent in the modern world than ever in history, and the society built by our grandfathers and great grandfathers is one that expects us to spend most of our waking lives in monotonous, unrewarding, and socially alienating jobs until we're near the end of our lives... we're used up and thrown away and have nothing but emptiness to look back on from our deathbeds
like me... I'm sitting in an office right now doing work I have no respect for... I'm not even allowed to have conversation with the people around me... I can feel myself slowly dying and mind, body, and spirit every day I sit here... my grandfather worked himself to death before he could reach 40, and my dad looks like he won't reach 50 for the same reason... I know I'm walking the same path right now for the sake of my two kids, but then I look at the state of the world and can't help but think the planet will be in its final death throes before they even reach adulthood
this song expresses something of the bitterness one can't help but feel growing up in today's world
