Not every socially aware song by every band is a reference to Zeitgeist - I'm seeing these prophetic people all over the place claiming so. A lot of people talk about our culture and how fucked up it is, without having heard about it from that subpar documentary. There's a million different ways to come to that conclusion and that's just one. Who's to say they haven't just read Howard Zinn, Derrick Jensen, Emma Goldman, or writings by the Zapatistas or any anarchist literature? Maybe they've just listened to a lot of bands that talk about this stuff and it's rubbed off. There's so many possibilities and we've no clue.
A lot of people can see how we're "enslaved" in this civilization, or this society, or capitalist system (depending on who you talk to), and the majority of them didn't get it from that doc.
Now it's my turn to push something - If you want you're world turned upside down even more so, and by a more credible source, read Derrick Jensen's "Endgame".
I interpret it from almost a buddhist staindpoint. We are living in the three dimensional world right now. We need to reach "enlightment" to be freed from the enslavement of the 3rd dimension to progress to the more spiritual dimensions.

"if this is a lie, then what am i" ....i interpret this as if the world is not really real, then what/who am i really. This is pretty much the core question buddhist monks dedicate their lives to figuring out.

"This is the portrait the man behind the curtain has painted for you"...I interpret this...
"This is the portrait the man behind the curtain has painted for you"...I interpret this as the world (3rd dimension, thus the song being titled 3D) has been created by an architech/god/gods (whatever you believe) and its up to us to connect to our seperate spiritual/divine nature and become enlightened, thus escaping the "enslavement" of the 3rd dimension. In order to escape we must escape the wanting nature, give up material things to become dis-attached. Senses Fail type thinking....but i could be absolutely wrong.
