"tethered to the hull of a sinking ship" "choking on the scraps of a wicked wealth" also it's missing a point where it says "as soon as they learned to breed, we would be suffering"
I think this song is about the lines between poverty and wealth. It takes place in a dystopian society where the rich rule completely and poverty is at the extreme.
Basically the whole thing's about how the rich are making all the decisions, and the poor have no say in it. All in the government is corrupt and their so-called "help" is hurting all the poor people.
"As soon as... we would be suffering" As soon as the rich children learned to talk, they would already be making the poverty-stricken suffer. As soon as a child is born into poverty, they're already doomed in this world.
"Choking/sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth." They only get the cores of the wealthy's apples, if you know what I mean.
I kind of assumed that the poor started a revolt of sorts and that when it says "tear it down, start again" that they were throwing away rough drafts of the plans, then they would start again, with bigger and better plans.
I think some of these lyrics are wrong.
