I was reading through these comments and was a little disappointed with the fixation on the TV element of this song- though, true, it is a very legitimate means of social control/change/whatever you want to call it based on your varying degrees of paranoia/ignorance/whatever you may prescribe to.
Anyways. I do not remember who it was that said it, but this song is about an impossible ideal- a world that simply cannot be attained and so cannot be real, and yet, the TV makes it real. The utopian-ideal-made-real. The TV is just a means of showing that what some people believe is going on in the world is false. Or that their own little private world is a complete lie, efficient as it may be. There are a lot of people in this world who forget to dream, though, but I still find myself dreaming of a better tomorrow with this song. Haha and seriously, no one threadjack me because of this- this is basically my anti-Obama song, because of certain elements, and my own private interpretation for what it means for us Americans today- which I shall keep private, no need to intrude on people's pleasant thoughts of BTBAM... <3333 though this song is sort of anti-establishment, anti-social construct, even slightly anti-progress, because this sort of progress is just evil, and I really do feel some anti-government vibes when I listen to this because of the different elements that make it. So, I get a very cathartic experience from this song. It's everything, it's awesome, it's BTBAM. Definitely my favorite song from them.
To end this out- Sadly, the music is relaxing in a way that reminds me of the way we're "put to sleep" by the media and complete bullshit of our time. If that's the effect BTBAM wanted, that's the effect that they got. You would have to ask them- or yourself. I seriously do fall asleep listening to this song though.
And this is too long, thanks for reading though! I know I didn't exactly back up my points with lines from the song or anything.. but this is already too long for me to do that to you haha.
