Cover art for Desert of Song lyrics by Between the Buried and Me

Does anyone else get the feeling that this could be a continuation of Fossil Genera? maybe im talking outta my ass here, but Fossil Genera basically talks about a society overthrown and left in ruin (correct?), and this song, to me at least, talks about resisting the powers that be.

idk, just a thought...

My Interpretation

also, im interested to hear replies, my email address is my username @gmail.com (i dont wanna manually check back, im sure you understand :D)

To me this entire album is the story of Prospect#1 's world leading up to his decision to flee in "Swim to the Moon." I think this song is the world after the night owls take over, and it becomes a distopia, much like the totalitarian government found in the novel "1984.' This song describes a world worth escaping.
