many of us will never own anything at all
we're tired of feeling bewildered
tired of helplessness
we want many, many things to end soon
these times, when everything is denied us
anything is possible
but everyday stubborn, clumsy, beautiful ideas
drop on the withering vine
we're tired of this state of affairs
we call to end paranoia, self-intimidation and fear
meanwhile, the world spins
as if nothing has happened at all
we're all still waiting
we dedicate this to everyone who couldn't afford
the thirty dollar price tag!
we dedicate this to girls kissing girls
boys kissing boys
girls kissing boys
and everything in between!
the future is bleak, uncertain, beautiful
tommorrow they might come and arrest us all
only if you listen closely can you hear the machines
beneath the sidewalk whipsering
the machines beneath the sidewalk are
always whispering
strive to listen close
please, try to be free
don't be afraid
the end of the world will never come

Na, just have a lot of stuff on the mind and felt like posting this. This is actually a monologue that the band Godspeed You! Black Emperor would say to the audience before most of their shows. Good meaning behind it though.

I don't get it, was this supposed to be deep or insightful or what?

I'm not going to say what this means and what this doesn't mean, because it's completely open for interpretation. In my eyes, it's a call to arms. It's calling for change in the way we act. It's calling to regain hope in ideas what are lost. It's telling you there's beauty in everything and that beauty is often lost among other things. It's calling to arms to question authority. It's saying that everyone should be free and open to new ideas.

Like I said, it's open to interpretation. I want to hear what some other people think this means. It's all opinionated, so no one is wrong.
