This sound isn't just about President Obama, but also his supporters and the country in general, but on a much deeper level than just politics. Very interesting.
Our country hated President Bush so much on a majority that when Obama was campaigning and was elected, people utterly believed he was our country's savior. I can't remember how many people I saw crying, and almost worshiping him on Election day.
This is where the song's message comes into play.
While many fans will disagree about the religious backgrounds of KSE's lyrics, there is a bit of it in this song.
"You are no God to me
You are nothing to me
This is the reckoning
Enjoy this while it lasts
It won't be long before it dies
You've stolen lies, and broken dreams
No man can be your deity"
This is referring to how mankind cannot be it's own God. So many of our country put their absolute belief in the new president that they believed the world in itself was going to change. It seems to me that these verses are Howard saying that no man can be God, and that in the end all of the lies that mankind will try to portray will fail in the end. In the end, no matter what happens with our leaders, we are not the decider of our futures.
"The betrayed, will now see the truth
And the broken-hearted, will finally heal
You will be judged
You will be found wanting
and we'll be there to see you fall."
These lines are almost Howard saying what has seemed to be the Obama campaign of recent. (Although I admit that almost every politician does this) many of the selling points of Obama's campaign have been reversed or stalled since he came to power. Eventually, everyone will start to see what was said and what is happening is very different.
I am not trying to be a Obama basher because honestly I hate when people complain about our great country's leaders, but this song does point to much of our current situation.
I like the new album already!!!
