ok, i didn't have time to post much before... we'll see how much i can get down this time...
it's a pretty darn political song.
"Flash that buttery gold, jittery zeitgeist wither by the watering hole, what a patrol, what are we to heart huckabee art fuckery suddenly"
...MEANING...
"Zeitgeist" refers to the sociopolitical & cultural climate, "ZEITGEIST" was also a film released in 2006/2007 that was about religion, 9/11, war on terror, Bush, the media... and essentially suggesting big business, Bush, religion, and the military etc are seeking global domination. He also refers to Mike Huckabee (Mike Huckabee is the former Arkansas governor/evangelical preacher whose stance was to give illegal aliens 4 months to leave the US or be barred from the country for 10 years if caught).
...MOVING RIGHT ALONG...
the remainder until the chorus is kinda running through evolution, and to what we have evolved to today: war, famine, murder, etc
...THE CHORUS...
"And I will remember your name and face on the day you are judged by the funhouse cast
And I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like 'None Shall Pass'
...MEANING...
To me, the chorus could be derived from one of two places:
(1) directly from a quote from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail
quote:
None shall pass.
What?
None shall pass.
I have no quarrel with you good sir knight, but i must cross this bridge.
Then you shall die.
I command you, as Arthur King of the Britains to stand aside.
I move... for no man.
So be it!
....or....
(2)
Isaiah 34:10 (Bible)
It will not be quenched night or day; Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will be desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever.
The second bunch of lyrics are namely about Bush, although i can't figure out what he's getting at with the vocoder blitz comment... a vocoder is like a voice synthesizer.. Maybe suggesting the media or politicians are just voice boxes?? disembodied voices? blah blah blah? Well its an idea... Rest of it speaks of Bush/US government making decisions (Middle East) while half a world away from the issue.... "walls of Jericho" well thats obvious - referring to the biblical story in which the ancient Israelites surrounded the city of Jericho (in present-day Jordan) and the walls of the city of Jericho crumbled as the Israelites seiged Jericho... referencing war in Israel & US involvement...
