Lyric discussion by manicdave 

Cover art for A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

its based on JG Ballards 1996 book Cocaine Nights. its about how to we keep our minds active when we are pluged into a fake world of TV and services.

"A billion balconies facing the sun; still, it means a final goodbye to wars and ideologies. But how do you energize people, give them some sense of community? A world lying on it's back is vulnerable to any cunning predator."
