“The song is about the idea that we have so much incredible potential as human beings to be destructive or to be creative. And it’s tragic to me that the appetite for military innovation is endless, but when it comes to taking on a project like ending world hunger, it’s seen as outlandish. It’s not treated with the same seriousness,” Flobots MC Jonny 5 (a.k.a. Jamie Laurie)

im not to good at this stuff but i think this song talks about how they say all the things they can do yet not what they cant do and then things get out of hand. Resulting the death of a close friend. So basiclly its about pride…

I think the message in the song is very strong and easy to understand. its saying that once you have the “i can do what i want” mentality that it starts as simple as “rinding a bike with no handlebars” but once you grow with the same mind, you want more power. power can be a positve thing but in most cases..such as hitler or suddam hussein it can get very bad and cause people to do terrible things.

It depicts abilities that countries (basically the US) have at a time like now. We can show you so many things, we can teach you how to do it. As talking about the United States, one person can come to rise, and lead us into anything as long as people follow them.

sounds to me like he’s talking about how easy to rise to power it is in america- and how just because someone is in control doesnt mean that that person is responsible or *should* be in control
