thurston is expressing his distaste for the modern world most obviously. surrounded by insignificance and the hell of capitalistic society (my friends are girls wrapped in boys/it's running down my street with white power sneakers) my fave line: "we are living in pieces i wanna live in peace" couldn't have said it better myself. many people live their lives dislocated from what makes them happy or could potentially make them happy and (i'm thinking of New York) are harsh to strangers b/c they are just another person walking down the block ~Nick
