Slow Math
Deconstructing Societal Struggles: The Slow Math of Debt and Dreams
Lyrics
Unhinge all hearts with speed.
Expressing the idea of unsettling or dislodging all hearts rapidly.
If you need something to believe,
Suggesting the search for something to have faith in.
We can bury them deep.
Proposing the burial of beliefs or issues deeply.
We'll put our faith in new machines.
Placing trust in new technologies or machinery.
Once we've exhausted all the oil and pornography
Reflecting on the depletion of non-renewable resources (oil) and the prevalence of explicit content (pornography).
There will be so much to teach
Anticipating a need for education after exhausting resources.
Of the slow math of debt and dreams
Exploring the concept of the slow and intricate calculation involved in the dynamics of debt and dreams.
Yeah we deserve that much at least:
Asserting a deserving quality for certain outcomes or considerations.
For every land a new war,
Linking each land to a new war as a deserved consequence.
For every man a new disease.
Suggesting a correlation between every man and a new disease as a form of retribution.
Queue the years!
Calling for a chronological order of events, possibly emphasizing the passage of time.
Hold our breaths to shallow beats.
Encouraging the withholding of breaths synchronized with rhythmic beats.
We should storm the beach
Advocating an active and forceful approach, using the metaphor of storming a beach.
And unhinge our lungs at least.
Suggesting a release or expression by unhinging lungs.
Unhinge all hearts asleep.
Reiterating the idea of unsettling hearts, particularly those in a state of sleep or unawareness.
If you need something to believe,
Repeating the need for something to believe, emphasizing the importance of faith.
New science always feeds us
Highlighting the continuous supply of new scientific advancements resulting in new destructive elements.
New bombs and new TV's.
Connecting the advancements in science to the creation of new weapons and entertainment devices.
And who here will say
Posing a question about the fair compensation for the effort exerted during a working day.
The rate of pay for their working day
Questioning whether the pay for labor is justified considering the fatigue experienced.
Is not outweighed by their fatigue?
Introducing the concept of the new math of debt and dreams, implying a changed or evolving calculation.
The new math of debt and dreams.
(Repetition of line 7, reinforcing the slow and intricate nature of the calculation involved in debt and dreams.)
Yeah we deserve that much at least:
Repeating the idea of a new war for every land as a deserved consequence.
For every land a new war,
Re-emphasizing the correlation between every man and a new disease as a form of retribution.
For every man a new disease.
(Repetition of line 12, possibly indicating the continued passage of time.)
Queue the years!
Reiterating the call for a chronological order of events, possibly emphasizing the passage of time.
Hold our breaths to shallow beats.
Repeating the encouragement to hold breaths synchronized with rhythmic beats.
We should storm the beach
Reiterating the advocacy for an active and forceful approach, using the metaphor of storming a beach.
And unhinge our lungs at least.
Repeating the suggestion of a release or expression by unhinging lungs.
Yeah for every land a new war,
Re-emphasizing the idea of a new war for every land as a deserved consequence.
For every man a new disease.
Re-emphasizing the correlation between every man and a new disease as a form of retribution.
