It was The Mars Volta
Radio
on Pandora, which this morning was all Pink Floyd,
which is fine, just fine, especially Animals.
I can never get enough
Animals. But I found myself
wondering how it is that humans are still here.
“Mother, do you think they’ll drop the bomb,”
will do you in good.
I go into the day empty.
Floyd is full, but I’m empty with empty questions.

The building and its whole art deco robot/industrial style is so chilling and futuristic as aged as it is. The product of humanity is present but people and humanity are absent, Indicative of the computer age where the absence if human thought in daily processes is apparent.

Yes, it is one of my favorite album covers as well. Thanks for your comment and your perception. It adds to the richness for me.

That line “mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb” used to give me nightmares.

Yes, there is some powerful thing to those lyrics in the way they’re sung, the harmonies around them…It’s dark, violent surrender.
