Lyric discussion by Ddevil701 

Media, television, and digital means consume all of your mind. They brainwash you, and suppress your consciousness.

I think that all of the songs on St. Vincent's self-titled album are a commentary about the conditioned state of our advanced society. If the media consumes your mind, how can you question anymore?

Why sleep if you're already sleeping when you're awake? The TV looks like just like a window- its a prism to view life with, but via synthetic means. It ends up distorting the world around us because we expect it to conform to the false reality we're immersed in.

We've been sold so many things at this point- how do we buy ourselves back? You can gnash your teeth at it and sit down quietly because we've all become complacent, therefore we don't revolt against our suppression (which is all-consuming and ever present). You can witness it, but it's not possible to take action against it.

Action would have dire consequences, but man must be freed from his prison of zeros and ones.
