I interpret this song to be mainly on the negative and 'fright' inducing elements of the American Media, cough cough "FOX News" cough cough. We are taught to be afraid and cautious of any and everything. Sure the world can be scary but not everyone is out to get you! "Venom radio and venom television, I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone" The poison that is being taught over the radio waves and television news channels is teaching us to be frightened and worried constantly. This is a rebellion and conscious awareness that we recognize the manipulation of our fake or frightening news. "With my shiny new Star-Spangled tennis shoes on." Sounds a lot like the Patriot stuff we hear a lot. "I'm afraid of everyone." People we are isolating ourselves from the world! Why? "I don't have the drugs to sort it out". Because isn't that the easy way to forget your issues, take medications or lose yourself in alcohol? He wants you to know that he doesn't want to live with drugs to ease any problems. Let's live with an open mind and a friendly positive outlook on an even closer world. "Your voices all in my soul soul soul soul Your voice is swallowing' my soul soul soul soul Your voices swallowing my soul soul soul Soul Soul soul soul soul soul soul soul soul soul soul". I leave with this, let's not close our doors to a world that is growing closer and lets stop the hate speech.
