Is there something you don't get about it? Most likely it's an old tv fairy tale with special effects. And there can be a lot of meanings. Video seem to have either political context or it just can be about end of idylic life. And about the video itself,for christ sake,use wikipedia
The video, to my eyes, is putting forward the notion that the modern age, the age of machines and surveilance, is destroying the past. Not the past as an actual place, but the past as we imagine it, and as a place from which to draw meaning for our contemporary age. It is saying, through destroying the fairy tales that previous generations have grown up with in the West, that all we have is the present, and the present is ugly, war torn, and meaningless--or, like, whatever.
lol...or, like, whatever. lol...so confident in ur annalysis of the video and then at the end u add that in..lol. good one. That was a great interpritation of the video tho. Good job :)
I love bloc party, and love this song! This video is good, but I don't like how the video doesn't match with what the song is actually about. The whole fairytale-getting-destroyed-thing is awesome, though.
It actually does have to do with the video in a way. The tank is destroying all these childhood fantasies, and whoever Kele is singing about had the same effect on his fantasies of the relationship

I like this CD a little better than the last CD's bloc party didn't change their sound to much from what they use to sound like they just made it more techno I can really dance to this...and I do
bloc party are an awesome band dont get me wrong but this album sucks it shows none of the tecnicality that made them who they are today another awesome band lost to the new rave its sad
The video is great. The song is almost alright but I just CAN'T STAND the way he says 'fighting lies with lies', it sounds so forced and insincere. It makes the chorus sound like it's cut too short and ruins the possibility of it being especially catchy.
this song rocks but it isn't very popular. here in belgium it is very popular :D one of the best songs of intimacy i think. this song has to be viewed alot more
Love this song and the video. I agree that there are better on the album but when you know the meaning of this, EVERY person in the world can relate to it.
I want them to release Ion Square (LOVE THAT SONG!!!) or Trojan Horse next. If not that, then Better than Heaven. If Not that, Your Visits Are Getting Shorter
Sounds a bit like Banquet, but still, it`s a great song!!! :)))

its an okay song, not their best as long as Silent Alarm is used as a comparison.
