Great interpretation. That makes so much more sense than any of the other interpretations I've heard. The one thing I'd like to add to that is that I think at the beginning the lyric is "you and me and the war of the *enzymes*." Which would mean a huge chemical war was what started this huge calamity and then the earthquake in California was what threw the world over the edge into complete chaos. It's a pretty cool/vivid image that this song paints. |

A Qadaa is the word for an administrative division for a bunch of countries in the Middle East, like Iraq. It's a lot like a county. |

I just kinda had an epiphany about the chorus of this song. It's JUST LIKE the end of The Great Gatsby. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." Mankind is always struggling for progress. To reach a greater state of being. But we always fall back. Relentlessly. But despite this all, we're strong. We persevere. It's kinda an awesome image. |
