This song makes me think about the human tendency to consume every single thing that we see or experience-especially tragedy and death because the prices of those are so high. Now that we have figured out how to get that "vicariously," "on the tv" without paying the price, its become like a drug. Just as ecstasy creates a short-cut to pleasure, this creates a short-cut to the intense emotions tied to death and tragedy. As with any short-cut, the importance/meaning of the journey is quickly and 'tragically' forgotten while we are all left feeding on the sadness of others. Not exactly a recipe for peace, love and harmony.
