Watch The World Lyrics

Cover art for Watch The World lyrics by Box Car Racer

In the first verse, the lyrics are fed and not fad. The fed is short for the federal reserve system which IS part of the government, it is the central bank of the united states and one of its responsibilities is printing new bils/destroying old bills. The first lines of the song are talking about burning down the fed/burning the country's money which is why the employees are panicking. Next, Langley is the town in Virginia where the CIA is headquarted. It is not an airforce base but there is an airforce base in Langley. The song is talking about getting rid of the CIA and making their secrets public. This whole verse is talking about overthrowing the government. I would really like to know how anybody thought this was anyway about 9/11 I fail to see any reference to that.

My Interpretation

Sorry for double post I didn't know we could reply .people think its about 911 because smoke from the attack, the Federal government who panicked as the fire grew continuing to destroy the buildings. Langley in Virginia apparently had several people affected by 911. "I held your hand and sat there knowing that we'd make it through" could mean that they are going through rough times or are victim of the attack.

I am like you and didn't even think of 911 when I listened to it.

I agree. The singer is telling about his dream where everything was good. People got rid of the Federal Reserve (by burning the money) and of the CIA in Langley, VA. There was no more hunger or heartache, and there was a cure for cancer. He then woke up and hoped that everything came true.

@trvsbrns9 If you seriously can't understand why people referenced 9/11 being that this album was released less a year after, I don't know how your brain funtions. You might be able to look at the deeper meaning but you're obviously not using common sense.
