This song could be considered to be talking about breaking off a bad relationship, but it has a deeper meaning than that. It's actually referring to our own society. I talked about this a little in my first post. We turn on our TV's, or our radios, or pick up the newspaper. We watch, listen, and read about what society wants us to watch, listen, and read about. Society controls what we know and therefore what we think. They have us spellbound.
People often ask me why I don't watch the news, or why I listen to obscure music rather than what is on the radio, or even like weird foreign films. This is why. I want to have my own thoughts. I want to watch, listen to, and read about things outside of what is socially acceptable. I don't want to be another sheep in the flock of society. Yes, this can often lead to me thinking and saying things that society looks down on. But I don't care, because the thoughts are my own, and not what have been planted in my head.

That makes sense, though I would caution doing something just because it is off the radar too. Just because something is mainstream doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad or incorrect :)
ReplyDeleteEven if people all watch the same etc.. They might be uniform in what view do, but thoughts will always differ. Or should since No one thinks about things the same since they dont influence people in the same ways
