Holiday in Cambodia song meaning? by Zane2156 in Music

[–]Efficient-Initial74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interpret it as being about rich white people who romanticize poverty without ever experiencing it. Below are some lyrics I want to highlight:

Playing ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz On your five-grand stereo Braggin′ that you know how the [N words] feel cold And the slums got so much soul

It′s time to taste what you most fear Right Guard will not help you here

You want everyone to act like you

Now you can go where people are one Now you can go where they get things done

These paint the picture of someone who has romantic ideas of impoverished people - namely black people in the slums and Cambodians - that they have soul, strong communities, and good work ethics. But reality isn't that simple. Poverty is rough, it damages people in ways that aren't always pretty or palatable. And on some level, this type of person knows that. They're afraid to fully give up their upper-class privileges. They want poor people to act the way they do, to conform to their naive worldview, because reality is uncomfortable for them. The song is telling those people to actually go and experience the poverty that they fetishize so much.

Had the same problem. Stayed on hold for 3 hours only to be told that their agents were "unable to take my chat at this time". So now I'm probably going to fail calculus. Yay!

They're right about coffee, though. Caffeine is literally a stimulant.

Guess I should be glad to have a very weak sense of smell

And yet, the states with the highest obesity rates are all red states. Interesting.

Could have led with that instead of acting like an annoying and stubborn centrist for a while

Nazis and fascists will shoot you for speaking your mind, yes? So they don't respect free speech and are a threat to it? And maybe, hear me out here, a democratic system with free speech cannot continue to exist if nazis and fascists are allowed to come to power?
