Song: The Postal Service - This Place Is A Prison

i went into more of a sensitive subject for this video. i think this song fits perfect about the issues that are burning up in the news.

LYRICS:

This place is a prison

And this people aren't your friends

Inhaling thrills through $20 bills

And the tumblers are drained and then flooded again

And again

Ther're guards at the on ramps armed to be teeth

And you may case the grounds from the cascades to puget sound,

But you are not permitted to leave

I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen

In my living room late last night,

It was almost too bright to see

And i know that it's not a party if it happens every night

Pretending there's glamour and candelabra

When you're drinking by candlelight

What does it take to get a drink in this place?

What does it take, how long must i wait?

This song is about how much of a pit the Pacific Northwest is. Not about drug addiction. Lol. Holocaust what?

Saying this song is just about a casino is like saying fear and loathing is just about las vegas. Even if a song is written specifically, its meaning is still in the hear of the beholder.

Lol no. It wouldn't fit at all. Just the feel it gives off. Also I hate Katniss with a passion. This would fit Mob of the Dead from Call of Duty Black Ops way better. It's too slow and the lyrics don't fit. A good song for Hunger Games would be something like Radioactive by Imagine Dragons or 42 by Coldplay.

Often poets will use a mundane setting as a metaphor to express a larger, deeper issue. Sorry you're not "fucking stupid" or "emo" enough to realize that.

i know this song is about substance abuse, but when i first heard it, i immediately thought that this song could easily relate how the victims of the holocaust felt... the banging sound is like soldiers foot steps and its a very haunting song...
