Almost every song on this album makes a comparison to the psycological control that is exercised by the military industrial complex and the effects of drug addiction. The corporations/familys/governments pulling the strings are very dangerous because thay have the ability to control mass minds through hypnosis(media). the meaning is ambivilent. the thirteenth step is meant to be a double entendre.
@xSOURxSKITTLExLOVERx The way I see it, Counting Bodies is more about war and the consequences of that. To me it sounds like Pet is more about the way people believe in the government and don’t have to think for themselves anymore.
It’s up to yourself. It’s all about interpretation.
The again, who are YOU to tell somebody what to do? What if he/she likes this song because he/she thinks it sounds good? You can’t just ORDER somebody to write down his or her thoughts… Shouting at people because the song has deep philosophical thoughts, while they just want to listen to it will make you you just as corrupt, taint and overtaking like those who this song mentions!
Then again, who am I to tell people?
The debate is what challenges us to evolve. Arguing is wrong only when it isn’t communication. Growth can happen in conflict but only when we are able to know in our humility that we may be wrong and are willing to validate the other. It isn’t arguing that is wrong it’s the refusal to even consider that the other may be right. Dogmatic thinking is what is wrong with our society. So many insecure persons unwilling to consider that we are all, in some ways, flawed.
im not sure if this was a comment to me but i will reply non the less . Yes they did have there hand in it. but we didnt go looking for fights in them cases. now it seems like we do.
well kinda. WWI and WWII even the US didnt spend as much as they do now on the military.We spend more than all other counties Combined. and if you notice we always have a nation building aspect to the wars we are in now. this is because sadly the US makes money on these wars. Not the Gov. but some every large corporations. and lets face it. Its us against them. and we are losing.
What about the Revolutionary…I truly respect u for even noing wat the Military Industrial Complex is but just to let u no, the US Military Industrial Complex heavily had their hands in both WWI AND WWII.
