Listening Journal 1-4-12

1. This song is about an either economically or politically oppressive society. Lyrically it alludes to Russia and Nazi Germany, Russia through the Petersburg reference and Germany via the mention of Jews and blonde hair.

2. The music was repetitive and the repetition in the words working for the clamp down established the monotony one would expect in a controlled society.

3. One line mentions cunning voices in "your" head which seems to point towards a deceptive force. The mention of twisted speech in another line seems to allude to propaganda as well.
