LedRush Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) "I wasn't aware it was inspired by a futuristic story." Yes, the futuristic society of 1982 (see "A Nice Morning Drive" by Richard Foster) :P. Really though, it is about a joy ride in an uncle's car, but didn't you ever wonder about the being chased by "alloy air cars" part? Makes up quite a bit of the story. ;) I don't know shit about cars, so for all I knew an "alloy air car" was the name of a car that existed. The same with "the motor law". I figured he was just referring to some law I wasn't aware of, or since he's Canadian, Neil was referring to some law up there. When I get the basic point of a songs lyrics, which I do with this one, I usually don't go looking into anymore detail about them. No worries, I just think it's a little funny that lines like "And on Sundays I elude the eyes and And hop the Turbine Freight. To far outside the Wire where my white-haired uncle waits," or the reference to "a better, vanished time" wouldn't have tipped you off. "Turbine Freight," the "Eyes," the "Wire" just Canadian stuff? You must really think Canada is quite the exotic place. But you like the song and you picked up on the joy ride, it's all good :cheers: . For a long time I didn't know the song was set in some future time. I just glossed over the bits I didn't understand, or tried to contextualize them. Turbine freight could have been a type of train. Eluding the eyes could mean getting away from his parents to see his way cooler uncle. I still don't know what the wire is, but it could be any number of borders. And people have been talking about a better, vanished time since ancient Egypt, so that wasn't a clue at all. I bet you if you asked casual fans, very few would know that this is set in a dystopian future. Edited April 9, 2015 by LedRush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
