I can feel what your saying Xodius... I find that those who are talented such as VNV that use synths etc to create emotional music is so amazing...... Your own creativity emerges :)
Moden day music same pop songs with same chorus play over and over this song dosant have a chorus how cool is that! I never hear the same lyrics more than 2 times Love this song!
I've gone through some bad shit in my young life (16 years). And between homelessness, rumors, no friends, bad social and school lives, and everything else.
This song makes me realize that through all that, it has made me a happier person through it all. I do thank the douches, because in their own fucked up way, they helped! And they will get their own in the end. So anyway, I thank you comment readers for reading my ramblings. Thank you and goodnight. :P
This song tugs at my heartstrings in remembrance of some of the most painful events in my life while simultaneously giving me the knowledge that I have survived them and can be thankful that I have found the strength to carry on and do my best to forgive the people and circumstances involved. Many VNV Nation songs are therapeutic to me, and the powerful message I get from this song touches me deeply. It's as if I'm feeling pain, sorrow, strength, and joy all at the same time. Amazing.
@Xodius33 nice profile pic! awesome album - I know how you feel xodius, I seriously think listening to vnv helped get over a ten year depression. Ronan, I think, speaks the better side of us, what we really, truly feel and not he person we show others. Nice shot in the arm.
I got into this band weeks after the death of my little sister... I couldn't imagine then how much VNV Nation would help me over time. Thank you Ronan and crew, I've found my own impetus to fight.
@IrishHaloNerd Yeah, same here, I had a few awfull things happen in my life too, and their songs Beloved, Kingdom, end of days, Illusion help cope thru them.
Very insightful and meaningful to me in deep ways in my life..wow great lyrical and cosic symphonic upliftng soul moving music from Ronan and co. Keep the world real in the sond and he does. Love it

What I love most about this band is their constantly changing sound, they dont stick to "what they know" and they're not afraid to dive into new worlds and new sounds with new albums.
Maybe. I don't know. This album feels like a direct antithesis to everything they've ever previously done. Even the "Marking 100 Years of Progress" seems phony to me.
@BartyMae I'll agree that this album and "Of Faith, Power and Glory" seem like "VNV Nation light". Not as much hard hitting base and what not, but the songs still have wonderful meaning. It seems like they were trying to jump on the steampunk bandwagon with this album with the design, audio clips, and some of the songs. All that said, I still think it's a great album.
@BartyMae I think the 100 years progress is a reference to the last 100 years in history and how we are facing problems that should have been resolved years ago. That's just my opinion but you can't help but wonder if that is implied when you listen to songs like streamline or this song in particular. This is just my opinion but I have listened to VNV since the mid 1990s when their albums first hit the states.
@zombieumbrella So basically, it boils down to my whole "this album is purely ironic" theory that I have. If that were true, I could appreciate the album a whole lot more.
@BartyMae I think Ronan wants people who listen to interpret it how they see fit and apply it to their lives. I think that is where a lot of his talent in his lyrics come from. That is really what caught my attention when I first listened to them.
