This last week You Tube published the World Premiere of “How Far We’ve Come” song, from Matchbox Twenty. It does not matter if you like the sound of it (I loved) but the lyrics are really deep. It talks about the same subject that we were talking before. The end of hope to makind. It does not matter either if we are talking about apocalypse, nuclear wars or the Global Warming issue, the same entropic behavior is well noticed for everybody.
Pay attention to the lyrics, they recognize the lonely situation of the postmodern and nihilist man (that may not have someone to say goodbye) and the images in the background. You’ll see great conquests of mankind and also an allusion to our failures. Then in the final chorus we see in the background the universal symbol of joy and commemoration: Fireworks. But they are in antagonism to the words in the mouth of the Group. In another words, we are “pretending” to be glorious, but “Let’s see how far we’ve come”…
