Cover art for Dear Vienna lyrics by Owl City

i think this song is written about the holocaust.

"i regarded the world in such a sad sight till i reviewed it in black and white then i reviewed every frame in basic shape and sealed the exits with caution tape" ---he went to the museum and never wants it to happen again

"dont refocus your eyes in the darkness and dont remember this place unless i describe all the things that you cannot see and we'll unravel the mystery" ---talking to the survivors, dont think about it and think about how happy you are that its over

"farewell all my friends in textbooks im going home" ---goodbye to loved ones whose names will be written in textbooks

"cuz my blood cells cannot depend on the weather in photographs" ---you cant determine what will happen to me from what you read

"theres a light show out my window somewhere way up there" ---he is seeing hoorrible things happen

"dear vienna we were happy like the shades of may when we got carried away" -vienna is actually a town in like germany or someplace i saw on a map of the holocaust. and they were happy when they were carried away

if i were to right a song about the holocaust i would word it just like this cuz me and adam have like the same writing style
