Perhaps it's wrong to color a person's perception about lyrics like this and it robs them of the experience of understanding what it's about. On the other hand, judging from the number of posts for DIMD and the nature of the subject matter, someone might as well do it.
I think the meaning behind unDeveloped lies between the external ideas and the individual thinking them.
Kaleidoscope.
Collide-o-scope.
Collides, cope.
It's the world view, way of looking at the world, a distorted reality, like looking into a kaleidoscope. Is it the author who's looking through it? Or is the collidoskope the false filter that others look through in their perception of a false world.
Everything that fueled the hope in others for change has died, or everything that fueled the hope in the author has died.
Also, the voices at the beginning, like some twisted greeting welcoming you to a false reality or at least a blurred, obscured view of reality.
Kaleidoscopes I guess are a circle of mirrors. Could connect it to the smoke and mirrors of this reality.
Retrospection leans forward? Like your view of the past is somehow morphed or colored by the present or the anticipated future. As in you marginalize actions or thoughts in the past and change them to fit the present time period or something. I also thought of the word "lien" which is I guess some way of securing the payment of a debt, I don't fully understand what it is though. You could perhaps apply it to the foreclosure situation.
But yea, one way or another, everything within people's means is property of this Collidoskope.
Or more specifically, within this construct of reality, everything that a person can access is controlled. Every piece of reality that people have access to is property and under the creation of the Collidoskope.
Or the resources they would need to create some sort of change are not under their control, but perhaps under the control of entities that would discourage this sort of change.
And so the unfolding of some events seem systematic. The collective indifference seems systematic. A collaboration toward dystopia. Even perhaps suggesting it's happening on a collective unconscious scale. It's a dramatic meeting of the minds. Could also go back to the idea about a group of people who would've done something to change things in the past have now been rendered useless by this Collidoskope. Though it's unclear if the collidoskope would've been around in the past or not, or if it's more of a current situation.
Excavate the bloody chills, it's seeping through the cracks with the... is it line or lie or life not sure. But either way one explanation could be that when you start digging into the darkness of the world, the truth is seeping through the cracks. Like the false reality construct is there but there are perhaps small cracks in it that truth is leaking out of. So the truth is there, it's seeping out of this.
And then it's asking, where did everyone go and when did they call to say they were leaving. I guess this goes back to the lack of resistance to what's happening in America and of course also the world today. All the people who would stand up and give some sort of resistance have left and they never called to say they were going.
It really goes to a massive theme on unDeveloped that there is some loss of consciousness occurring where people are receding further and further into their shells. unDeveloping, becoming husks, almost robotic.
It's either, "Just like..." or "Dislike the age of animal, This archetype of life."
I think this might go to the following idea...
Essentially, when you think of farm animals and the lives they live you pick up on the fact that they don't understand what's going on. They don't understand that they're being bred in order to be used as food for another organism. They just sort of eat their corn (or sometimes grass) and before they know it they hanging upside down dead.
So is it possible that humans are operating with a similar ignorance? Is it possible that just like how farm animals don't understand what their lives are truly about, neither do we? Maybe we aren't being used as food for something else, but is there a similar lack of understanding? Again, the message of the false reality.
So the "age of animal" is more like "the life of an animal?"
Anyways, our reality is an archetype of life. Archetype can be used to mean "an original that has been imitated." So like we're living in some imitation of what life should really be. False reality.
Or you could look at it as people looking down on the days when we didn't have technology and all this development when we were more like animals. But yet we're just as, or more unDeveloped than we were back then, like we're psychologically moving backwards.
Author once again asks where everyone went, where all the consciousness is going.
I don't know about the "Lifeless substance to devour." But I'll just say it's the people that are lifeless? And they're just spending all their life devouring like hungry hippos or something. They're totally lifeless mindless consumers. And I guess it fills their future (distant).
Or it could be that the construct or "cancer" mentioned on "101" is itself the lifeless substance that's devouring us and is eating away and filling up our future.
Not sure about the last word of the "From the acid of the (?)" line.
So this game plays itself out in 3-D visions of life.
