Pinhole View
Comecon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you under this stone?
Can I call you?
Can I see you alone?
Will you show up?
Is it your place or mine?
Are we friendly?
What you seek you shall find,
Seven road blocks
From tonight
Polka mini
Obscurity defenestration
Old fame reclaimed
For straighter roads and rule by force
New age of rage
Of bias and uncivil wars
Now it always start from the bottom
When it comes to boil
And our history always runs upon the foil
And we always wish that the future
Shall be born without pain
But everybody wants to drive our train
In the gutter we can settle the score
But you don't know who you settle it for
All around you is the enemy you dread
And your vision is a map of your head
A million toad halls
The table's set
Marble cake
The princess on the pea is raging
Old fame reclaimed
For straighter roads and rule by force
New age of rage
Of bias and uncivil wars
Are you covered? are you under this stone?
Can I call you? can I see you alone?
Will you show up? is it your place or mine?
Undercurrent of the nation's decline
The song "Pinhole View" by Comecon touches upon a variety of themes ranging from mistrust and betrayal to the confusion and frustration that come with striving for progress in a world that constantly resists it. The lyrics open with a series of questions aimed at someone, questioning whether they are covered, under a stone, or alone. These questions highlight some sense of unease or paranoia that the singer is feeling. The song then moves onto a series of seemingly unrelated phrases such as "polka mini" and "obscurity defenestration."
However, these lines eventually come together with the later verses concerning a "new age of rage" and the "nation's decline" to paint a picture of a world that is in chaos. The imagery of "roadblocks," "uncivil wars," and "straighter roads and rule by force" all work to emphasize the sense of confusion that the singer feels. They are trying to move forward and progress, but the world in which they live is resistant to that.
The final lines of the song reveal the overarching message: that the future always seems elusive and difficult, but we must continue to strive for it even in the face of adversity. The singer comments on the fact that progress always seems to be just out of reach, but they continue to pursue it despite the difficulties they encounter. The song's lyrics are thought-provoking and open to interpretation in a variety of ways, but they all ultimately point to the idea that progress is difficult but necessary.
