As for the ‘blue screen’, I think that’s a cool interpretation, and certainly works... I had thought of it as a blue screen like the ones they use in TV, e.g. something replaced with computer graphic imaging - the idea of tribal ‘armies’ who aren’t really there except digitally.

But I think both interpetations work, and the album is full of lyrics with multiple meanings.
Oh! Google said it was "heart"....
Anyway, thanks for the offered interpretation of the lyrics. Ah, the beauty of art and its many meanings. ♥

I hear that in the demo version. Unless you've subliminally planted it. I also hear The Waste Land referenced & good old Larkin lends 'the less deceived' line in the demo for A Song for the Sadness

I feel strangely giddy when I catch these references. Like the 1 damn answer you get in a whole episode....possibly series....of University Challenge. Though I suspect you do really well at that going by your contributions to the reading thread
