	When I listen to this song it reminds me of somebody who just sees life as one big soap opera and that the human race is just making life difficult for themselves by being so uptight and cold and trying to be individuals but hating everybody else in the process. "Hey, come and join the show, all the cameras are ready to go!" This line reminds me of somebody welcoming a new life to the earth and saying "hey, welcome to the big stage, now you get to join in with the melodrama and become one of the actors!" Lets reunite, go back to being human, and brush all the fakeness aside.

	This song is one of their best on Clayman. I guess he is refering to identity and brushing the dust away is rejecting popular culture. Avoid becoming an icon. But think as I rape your mother; being fake.

	The lyrics indicate to me that a person is depressed "A bad case of the urban blues" and he shoots some one and the media creates into a huge public thing and that when that happens the media shouldnt get invovled "Hey, come and join the show All the cameras are ready to go Just aim and end another" and in that its the same as shooting someone and we need to re-unite and brush the dust away.

	Great song, and meaningfull lyrics, but personally I think that "but think, as I rape your mother" line kinda ruins the feeling..

	"We think we're in control then we become the things we hate, Lets re-unite and brush the dust away" Its time to put away all our fears and doubts to make this life worth living with love

	we think were in control and we become the things we hate: we think were in control and doing whats right, but really we are no better then the person we are getting revenge on. we should just brush the dust away

	Yeah, I get the impression this song is about war and destroying the earth in general for our own amusement or personal gain. So when he says, just aim and end another but think as i rape your mother, it seems like he is trying to piss you off. It's like he's saying, it's easy to solve your problems with violece, but realize that the next guy might do something even worse to you. it's an endless cycle.

	For some reason gang warfare in urban places comes to mind when listening to this song,but maybe im missing something. "In the most desolate corner A bad case of the urban blues Another brick in the living shadow All inhale the downward spiral" This could possibly refer to people living in an urban ghetto... the "living shadow" "Hey, get in line for tragic Let us dance to the pistol magic Just aim and end another But think, as I rape your mother" This could refer to someone joining a gang or something of the sort to try to make life easier but actuallly they are just "getting in line for tragic" getting involved with guns and violence(turf wars). "Another player joins the table Who I can or cannot trust When do we get assigned? Pure and precious with bad intentions" Maybe this means people come and go, lose power, go to jail or die frequently, new ppl are coming to the table, and how often can you trust someone, especially when everyone is out for themselves. "Hey, come and join the show All the cameras are ready to go Just aim and end another But think, as I rape your mother" Maybe this refers to how gangs, violence, etc are glorified sometimes ...mostly in america or rap music. "A single step - a garbled life Where's the profit? Your rage - the pain Will it all be worth it?" Maybe this is talking out about how it only takes a single step in the wrong direction and u could be down for life, and wheres the profit in living this way? Will it ever be worth it? "Genetic, it seems to be.... Abandon, the mass ideal We think we're in control then we become the things we hate Lets re-unite and brush the dust away" Maybe this is talking about how we as humans seem to always think we can get ahead by living a certain lifestyle but we are for sure always gonna screw things up, and we need to abandon these ideas that seem to be everywhere in the media etc. Ppl think they are all big bad and tough and think they "are in control" but yet they "become the things they hate". He's asking these people to "reunite and brush the dust away", but like i said, i could be wrong.

	If you see what some of you are actually writing, you're using the lyrics to describe what the mean - which makes no sence eg/ When it says "Lets reunite and brush teh dust away" you are saying it means "lets reunite and brush the dust away and start again" which isn't very helpful and extremely vague. The way I see it is the persona being rather "unsociable" and and finds it very hard to put trust within people. Like in the second verse, where it says "Another player joins the table", he could also be stating how life is like a card game, or a game of some sort that involves chance (like poker)- and there are many people who "bluff" - which in reality - means lie about their hand and what cards they posess. The cards could be in relation to his life and therefore show that he see's life itself being an uncertainty or that people see no use for believing each other and that it's an "every man for themselves". This could explain his problem with trust as noone see's right in following the rules we started with when we first were "graced upon" the Earth (sorry im not a religous person, its just a way to put it generically). The Chorus itself could just quite literally saying to start afresh and sort all problems from wrong to right. Along with this, the protagonist could be trying to express how important he believes the value of honesty and friendship and how we shouldn't abuse it. One last thing, elaborating on the idea of how the person belives how important life and friendship is - could be the "Just aim and end another" which caught my eye. He could be saying to large corporations that "It's easy to kill someone because you have killed many from your greed" and therefore may be meaning it in a "sarcastic" sence - but as for the "Rape your mother" I could honestly say it could mean many things - but the one I follow most is how we're "raping" or killing our planet for, yet again, our greed for money and supplies. Sorry if this is bad, but i'm only 15 and haven't done overly much analysis on such metaphorically driven songs - even though they intruige me so much. 1
