listening to the lyrics from a 2021 perspective fills me with sadness over the lost potential of that generation. shoegaze, and the music of the time, was incredible in retrospect. and I feel this song epitomizes the feeling of inspiration and drive while having no way to express it or actually build on it. it is almost sad and heartbreaking that so many had a musical outlet, but the general culture wasn't ready to take it and accelerate it into something real, meaningful, and beneficial to the world at large.
this song is unrealized potential and the accompanying frustration
