Maybe it's too deep for my understanding.

And that is what is lost in todays music... there is no intrigue, there is no room for interpretation... it's all literal and horrid... even pop music in the 80's had some kind of artistic factor... You could even break it down to Nickelbacks first album to there latest... They did have room for interpretation, but changed to what sold records, maybe a good business move, throw out their credibility from then on... They've become to literal and commercial, but idiots buy that up because they can 'relate' to it... Is it art imitating life? or is it life imitating art? Coldplay, not so much, not that I'm a fan, but that's why they don't get number one and represent a decade of idiots.
