Annotations for ExoPolitics

Lyric: As conspiracies unwind
 Will you slam shut or free your mind
 Or stay hypnotized?
Annotation:
People on Earth, initially refusing to believe what is happening, can react in three ways: ‘slam shut’, i.e. not even letting yourself believe what you see (or alternatively lock yourself away in fear); ‘free your mind’, see the truth, break free from delusions and lies previously pushed by the government ‘stay hypnotized’, i.e. continue believing what the government is trying to cover up.

Lyric: Carried through the centuries
 Secrets locked up and loaded on my back
 Well, it weighs me down
Annotation:
This takes in the government’s point of view. All the secrets that the government are keeping to keep people safe are not making people safe if no one has any information on how to defend themselves. This is also affecting the government as well, and if they know what’s going on and they aren’t doing anything about it, then it will affect them very badly and the people of Earth as well.

Lyric: And fully loaded satellites
 Will conquer nothing but our minds
Annotation:
The speaker denounces the progress of technology and “rages against the machine”, or so to speak. They warn of how technology has inhibited our abilities to truly communicate with each other, sacrificing sincerity and understanding for convenience and pretense. The “leaders”, or the extraterrestrial aliens will use these “satellites” to “conquer” or control the minds of the humans; our thoughts will no longer belong to ourselves, and we’ll be programmed to the aliens' agenda. The leaders second as extraterrestrial beings metaphorically, as well, as these political leaders are foreign and alien, and they fail to understand the people’s will.

Lyric: Open the skies over me
 I am waiting patiently
 I’ll wait for a sign
Annotation:
As the song is intended to be about a trade agreement between a world power government and extraterrestrials, “waiting patiently” for the “sign” would mean that the speaker is waiting for the people to realize what’s going on, that their thoughts are being controlled by cold, foreign beings. On the other hand, the speaker is waiting for the government to release something about the aliens planning to invade Earth, so they can defend and educate themselves immediately. A second interpretation would be that the speaker is waiting for a higher power to descend upon them, for God to awaken the people to the reality they’re blind to. “Patiently”, however, implies that they’ve waited and waited, and that the higher power hasn’t come yet. It’s denouncing religion and the existence of a god–if God existed, why hasn’t He come to save them yet? They can wait forever, and no God, no higher power, no miracle, no force of luck would ever come.

Lyric: When the Zetas fill the skies
 Will our leaders tell us why?
Annotation:
The term “Zetas” refers to  Grey Aliens, from their supposed scientific name, “Zeta Reticulans”. The term originates from  the conspiracy theories surrounding the  Zeta Reticuli binary system. The origins of the idea that alien life is present in the Zeta system are, if you’ll pardon the pun, somewhat grey. The most prevalent cause seems to stem from the fact that the twin stars are similar to our own sun and could therefore, theoretically, support life. From  Armagh Planet: What are the prospects for life in this star system? Both stars are similar to the Sun and if they have suitable planets it is not impossible that life has arisen there. Older sources claim these stars to be relatively old (6-8 billion years old is often quoted) but more recent evidence acquired by analysing the stars’ light with spectroscopes suggests these are young stars, possibly only two billion years old (compared to our own Sun’s 4.5 billion year age). Their youth may count against the possibly of higher forms of life having evolved on Zeta Reticulan worlds. Also presented as evidence is the  “star map” supposedly seen by an alien abductee.  For further reading, consider  Biblioteapleyades, though, be warned, the layout of the site makes about as much sense as the information presented on it. The second line is referencing  Project Blue Beam, which posits that the government is building a hologram system that can be projected onto the sky, to make it appear as though aliens have come to earth. Will the government tell us why they did that? Will it be to form a new world order, a one world government that enslaves us all?
