Its like The Matrix, we're all smiling uneasily through the bars of our beautiful jail.

"the song is supposed to say something about wilfully not seeing things. all the stuff listed at the beginning are things that seem to me to be deliberate obfuscations. credit cards (yr not really spending money) sealed lifts (yr not really moving up and down) covert sanitation (likewise) processed meat, national waste disposal system... etc. you get the picture. it pisses me off when people don't call a spade a spade, basically. thus also "i will stutter my way through naked poverty until i'm across the street, safe." oh, and there's a bit about my old dog in there too - he used to think that if his eyes were shut, no one could see him, so he'd steal food with his eyes closed." that's what frank said on the message board.

the song is more or less about how blind most people are to current trends and social issues. still it rocks pretty hard, especially the Wah-wah solo at the end.

"And when i close my eyes am I invisible?" Frank posted the meaning for this song on the Million Dead forum website. I can't really remember it all, but the line above was inspired by his old dog who thought that when we closed his eyes, no one could see him, so he went about stealing food with his eyes closed!
