I think the contrast between the mood of the music and the mood of the lyrics actually correspond with the country of Haiti itself. While it may seem like a peaceful tropical place, it's actually plagued with these deathly problems that are almost unexpected, or covered up by the characteristics of the land.
@Skyling this is from so long ago but rings true. I was there for months right after the 2010 earthquake. It has some of the most beautiful countryside. Mountains and trees with blue cloudy skies that you can easily see from some of the most economically devastated places on earth. We conducted a parachute supply drop that scattered along a mountain side in the darkness of night.. and it was like people came from all directions to see what the noise was. Out of the tree line, out of the pitch darkness of night, seemingly right out of the ground.
