Scarlet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sky is falling on a tv screen. Mass hysteria for an American Dream.
This antichrist is coming to kill your young.
Armageddon well packaged and formatted for your tv screen.
Load your firearms because security is a warm warm gun.
Give us more desperation because it works for me. With fagged out politicians and pop star rape machines.
Give us more isolation because it works for me.
Give us more medication so we can run away from another day.




Overall Meaning

In this song, Scarlet seems to be commenting on the state of modern American society, particularly in regards to the media and the government. The opening line, "The sky is falling on a tv screen," suggests that the news and other forms of media are constantly bombarding us with doom and gloom, making it seem like the world is ending. This fear-mongering is all part of the so-called "American Dream," which has become distorted and twisted into something much darker and more dangerous.


Scarlet then goes on to talk about the "antichrist," or some sort of figure who represents everything that is wrong with this new version of the American Dream. This figure is coming to "kill your young," further emphasizing the fear and paranoia that seems to permeate everything. The idea of Armageddon being "well packaged and formatted for your tv screen" suggests that even the end of the world is being commodified and sold to us as entertainment.
