Finch Song - Antiwar?

[Matthew]

My Analysis of "Worms of The Earth"


Could it be an anti-war song?


__________________________
Gentlemen our faith is wounded
And yes, we are wounded too
They've come out from the swamp
But we, we stand on both legs
They will roll over and over and over again
______________________________

faith wounded- we were attacked
from the swamp- our attackers
on both legs - the US holds strong
they will roll over - enemies will fall

__________________________
Another lonely pacifist, lying in the sun
There is no ground control
(May Day!!)
________________________

lonely pacifist - protestors largely ignored by Bush
ground control/mayday - spiraling towards tragedy

___________________________
Breathe not a word of this
Quiet, quiet confidence
The time has to come to face this
We all must bear witness
Roll over and over and over again
___________________________

breathe not a word - keep dissenting opinion silent

time has come/bear witness - we are all being dragged into this tragedy and must witmess the horrors

roll over- now our nation has fallen to evil

________________________________
Another lonely pacifist, dying in the sun


I will not watch this
I will not watch this all come down
_______________________________

lonely pacifist...dying - pacifist silenced by war, still ignored

i will not watch - cant bear to watch the suffering unfold

Careful boy, Careful

I know this song was out before the war situation escalated, but hearing it tonight it took on a new meaning to me.

[RUFiOOOOOOO]

y'know it actually could be... here are the lyrics:

Gentlemen our faith is wounded
And yes, we are wounded too
They've come out from the swamp
But we, we stand on both legs
They will roll over and over and over again

Another lonely pacifist, lying in the sun
There is no ground control
(May Day!!)

Breathe not a word of this
Quiet, quiet confidence
The time has to come to face this
We all must bear witness
Roll over and over and over again

Another lonely pacifist, dying in the sun
I will not watch this
I will not watch this all come down

Careful boy, Careful...

At the concert, Nate said this song had to do with Bush and stuff. And the lyrics are clearly anti-war.

[Alex Djaferis]

Holy shit?! Really? I'm so happy to hear that! Finch is my new favorite band just for writing a good antiwar song! I cant believe I guessed it on my first try!

Lets hear it for interpreting abstract songs..... I am sooooo EMO!
