| A lot of the lyrics in this song are taken from/inspired by the situationists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situationist), who wanted people to actively shape and create their world, rather than be passive consumers (or 'spectators'). | |

| The concept of suicide here is 'death in life' to me. In our existing culture of consumerism, the only freedom we have is the choice not to participate, which is hardly an attractive option. 'You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence' I interpret as a snipe at the bourgoies middle-class: they create ways of making our lives more convenient, but this in no way improves our quality of life - it just makes us lazy and docile, cannon fodder. 'Cigarettes a life-line' reminds me of a line in 'What She Said' by The Smiths - 'I smoke because I'm hoping for an early death' | |
