Theres a lot going at this part with the organ kicking in, so

The chorus actually sounds better if you play power chords
instead of the full barre chords.

| I was wondering if these song is kind of sarcastic, it almost comes across as a critique of certain ideologies. "It’s a better way to feel Don’t be real, be post modern (it’s not that one dimensional, it’s not the only thought) " If you can see that as sarcasm - saying post modernism is lame. "This wooden idea is your method of repetition This wooden idea is how you sell reduction " Thats obviously talking about asimmiliation and watering down ides to make them meaningless. I cant put my finger on it tho! | |

| "it's a better way to feel, don't be real, be postmodern" i love that line... its better to feel in vague metaphors, maybe? obviously tries to explain the idea by saying not to be one-demensional. | |

| i think you've got the right idea. It just seems to be slating the way postmodernism sucks conviction and honest emotion from art. So much meaningless crap is made in the name of post-modernism just for the sake of it. I like it, it makes you feel good about music that is made from the honest passion of the artisit rather than somebody desperately trying to reinvent or be original just to make the cover of NME... | |
