There is an impressive Pied Piper-esque bridge where floaty guitar sings while M. “Where’s the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave?”.
It is referring to the consumer-driven world we live in, with our wants the king, yet us becoming victims to this in the process. None of the songs on this album feel ‘too long’ despite being far longer than is the norm.īoth the music and the lyrics of God Damn hit hard.
Are they referring to life itself as an illusion? Or just the egoistic elements, as was described in The Stage? Let it be said that this song edges toward the 7 minute mark and I barely noticed it. Just as The Stage lyric noted that ‘this is just a simulation’, Sunny Disposition refers to “Such a marvelous time I will find in an illusion”. The song appears to be reflecting an arrogant dance of ego and control over humanity, which culminates in use of nuclear weaponry, and perhaps our demise. The brass and melodic guitars of Sunny Disposition belies the darkness of its message. The question the song seems to be asking is where do we draw the line as to whether we are human beings alive or something else entirely?

But for who and for what? (“Can’t you wake up?”, “You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?”) The refer e nce to the 'motherly' features of the wind may be a reminder of what is actually real in all of the circus of life. The Stage poses questions and ideas that remind me of the child pointing out that the fabled Emperor is naked : Who are we performing to? For whose benefit are we moulding ourselves? It indeed seems like with all that is hyped and grandly presented in modern life, that everything is a show and that life is a stage, the bigger and flashier the better. Wailing guitar welcomes in the vocals and the lyrical story begins. High speed impressive guitar and drums kick off and there is ever more building up and a sense of anticipation.
Organ chords lead us downward and into waiting for the show, aka their seventh studio album, to begin.
