01 At Any Cost - Splat - Off The Windscreen by Brian Melt published on 2021-03-19T18:46:25Z This song is about political predation I started to see, beginning in the US, around 2000. It got far worse, in my estimation, around 2010. It's a song I had bouncing around in my cluttered mind for years, but never actually sat down and flushed out until 2010. Or so? I dunno. The final lines "don't place blind faith in black snake politicians" is an overt reference to fossil fuel corporations, their corrupt relationships with politicians in the US and abroad, and corporate capture of the US government. I got the idea from the indigenous legend "Prophesy of the black snake." Pipelines and oil trains, the visible signs as literal power is amassed and America literally divided. Americans, literally divided. Political power isn't as easy to see, but t's just as destructive. More so. at any cost they will prey upon your sympathy they will tear our bands apart and they will break your back, your will, your brain so they can take whatever they can gain they'll see you dead to keep in power you're just opposition to devour why are you loyal to the cowards? sweet liberty turned bitter, sour is that the cost? (x3) is that too high? too high now it doesn't matter much what happened here today cause if it don't make the cover page... they want you to forget the things they did and said so they can do it all again another day when blood is spilled for their desire and they have all that they require they'll tell you "freedom's cost" is higher take honest words back from the liars is that the cost? (x3) is that too high? too high now don't place blind faith in black snake politicians they'll make you so afraid, can't even pay, pay attention https://splatmusic.bandcamp.com/track/at-any-cost Genre Alternative Rock Comment by Christian Lutz Just found this again, listening for breakfast - such a powerful start in the morning 😊🙏🎶 2024-02-06T09:17:14Z Comment by Kenny Hultqvist aw nice and heavy track well done.🎶👌👍😎 2024-01-25T16:57:14Z Comment by Llanpsych Great rock groove and vocals - really impressive😎🙏 2023-12-09T13:31:34Z Comment by R O B E R M A R T I N nice! <333 2023-12-08T11:48:43Z Comment by Karl Heinz - Heimgartner Great rock song and cool vocals,fantastic lead guitar.
