River of Brakelights Lyrics

Cover art for River of Brakelights lyrics by Julian Casablancas

Hmm.. this song take some thinking.. it seems like there's two different world colliding in this song.

First is the world of consumerism and the irresponsibility of the usage of our resources.

Second is the world of despair, guilt and the loss of hope.

People who live in large scale cities really come to appreciate this sort of song for it sort of lays out how intense it can be to live in one.

I live in Manhattan, and I can really appreciate the feeling of the sounds Julian has created, and it make the world feel a bit as though it's going a little out of control, and we justify our reckless actions with "I shop, therefore, I am the cause."

A bold song, definitely worth some time to listen and think about.
