2+2=5

1.       The world cannot be boiled town into a list of rights and privileges. Life is too complex, if someone tries to make all of life equal bad things happen. I draw this interpretation from the line “Are you such a dreamer/ to put the world into rights?”

2.       The tempo of the music up until the bridge was slow, nearly dreamlike, programmatic which coincided with the message of the lyrics. I also noted that there seemed to be a shift at the end of the song right before “maybe not”.

3.       The song seems to describe a world where personal liberty is not important and common sense things about life are not so common sense anymore. To me this is extremely similar to the society that Orwell has created in 1984.
