This song is a slow burn to a boil. The lyrics are great too and go along so well with the music - they aren't about anything concrete or a definite subject matter, but just do a great job to convey the mood of fighting, war, and possibly, the end of the world. The song title "White, discussion" is a bit of a mystery. Any thoughts on that, and the comma?
An interesting note is that the album cover to "Throwing Copper" is a painting by Peter Howson. I did a bit of research about him and his art works are quite in line with Live's music - full of angst, apocalyptic imagery, and religious themes. If you think the album cover is and Ed Kowalski's lyrics are intriguing, I would suggest checking out Peter Howson's works too - it's shocking, great stuff.
