This track is a hard-hitting blues song that channels the anger of those at the bottom of society, challenging the corruption and injustice that spreads from the top.
The slow, moody bassline sets the stage for a stark contrast between the distorted moon reflected in the sewage canal and the powerful elite who celebrate over champagne, using "our future as appetizers." From the perspective of those "sipping muddy water and waiting for tomorrow," the narrator questions God about who set these unfair rules.
The core of the chorus is the scathing critique: "The fish always rots from the head." The assertion that the cause of decay lies not with the "roots" but with the "summit" is a sharp satire of modern society. This despair toward the ruling class-whose "sins pretend to be unseen"-is palpable, culminating in the piercing question, "Is there no light left in those eyes?"
The soul's cry, knowing its voice won't be heard but unable to remain silent, along with the weeping blues harp solo, profoundly expresses the emotion oscillating between resignation and rage. The feedback noise in the outro suggests that this scream will not fade quietly but will continue to reverberate across the world.
