I'm not sure if anyone has posted this subject yet. The other day I listened to the album and found so many lines/references to 9/11 even the though the album pre-dates the attacks. Has anyone else picked up on them?
- First off the album has songs called "New York" & "Peace on Earth"
- Secondly the theme of mortality is present of the album ie SIAM, Walk On, Kite, IALW, POE, WILATW
- The airport theme seems to have taken a quite morbid turn too
As for lines in songs...these are the ones that kinda freak me out
"Religious nuts, political fanatics....thats where I lost you in New York"
"I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall, its a long way down to nothing at all"
"Life should be fragrant, rooftop to the basement"
"They're reading names now over the radio, all the folks the rest of us won't get to know"
"You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us have been"
"I'm in the waiting room, can't see through the smoke, I think of you and your holy book while the rest of us choke"
Overall I think the album is a remedy to the events and has helped people cope. Since it has that effect I think it is a hands done shoe-in for Album of the Year.
