Time to get serious and shit....
Front Cover: A devilish-angel trying to break free. In my eyes the angel represents you and me dear reader, hit in the heart bound to earth.
Middle Cover: Now we have the overall picture. The angel trying to escape through the hole bound to earth by two groups of people. My interpretation: If the angel represents us, it might mean that we are not free from earthly obligations. I'm thinking on culture, tradition, institutions, etc. The abstract groups of people locking "us" convey that idea to me.
Back Cover: The same angel. Note the chains. Is "She" finally free? I'll leave that to your own consideration.
Booklet:
Front: I'll divide this image into four parts. The octopus often related to power and dominance. The badge which I relate with America, note the stars and the stripes. The two fellows protecting "America" with baseball bats. One guy is a monkey [human race?] the other has a robotic arm [technology reference, cyborgs and stuff?]. Three gas masks over "America". Note that one of the masks has the offspring-ish flames on his head. My views: Hi-tech people trying to protect America by the wrong means.
Half-truism: An anthem, a hymn. Again the gas masks reference. The only way to protect us from outwardly hazardous influences. Note the background, a city on flames. That's what I see.
Trust in You: The need we have to one another. Is "pull me up" making sense now?
You're Gonna Go Far, Kid: Brilliant disposition of the lyrics. You're gonna go far and your only destination kid, is an American eagle with a cross in its eyes. Your final destination will be an America gone wrong.
Hammerhead: Military badge. A thunder representing harm. A sword led by an angel wing. Wars with religious motivations? I have no clue.
A Lot Like Me: Trying to hold as we speak? Or being hold while speaking. An ambiguous one. Very Conspiracy-ish.
Takes Me Nowhere: Again the Offspring-ish flames and an eye going evidently nowhere. Simple and straight.
Krity Are You Doing Okay?: "Waves of time". Representing the time and a sense of past from it. Simple and pretty.
Nothingtown: Note the sewage. A city as a prison from which you have to escape. Helicopters overhead to follow you as you go.
Stuff is Messed Up: A plane dropping a bomb. And a Kid examining a cockroach[Americana-ish] and burning it at the same time. We trying to understand things around us and harming them in the process. Basically, shit is fucked up.
Fix You: Is that a sugar cookie or something? Will it melt? Just like love? We need to fix it then.
Let's Hear It For Rock Bottom: A cockroach [again Americana-ish] on his back. Pretty much hiting rock bottom. Can't moving. Going down in flames. Dead.
Rise and Fall: The angel heart with two arrows on. One is for rise the other for fall. "And we are both".
Pre-back Cover: Kids playing baseball with hand granades. The catcher means America. The guy with the bat is trying to protect America from bombs. Note the cross on his hat. While protecting America he is causing havoc somewhere else, lets say Iraq. [note the "far way" explosion and the gas masks]
Back Cover: We, in a near future.
Let me just recover my breath and give me your thought.
