People have always made more of lyrics than the artist ever intended.

And every single one among the lot of you will have your turn, Ai, Ai, Ai, Oh, Oh, OH! The general forces presented are massive powers not to be underestimated: a gigantic gorilla capable of crushing you to bits (changed later in the song to represent the boss of a company through the desk-pounding), the threatening torpedo which could represent a high-ranking military official (later established as the generalissimo), the legendary Godzilla that flattens entire cities, and the tornado that rips apart anything in its path. It is the first thing that came to my mind anyway when I heard it.... And what an inspiration it is. After reading Milhouse911's impressive interpretation of this song I have looked for similar themes in other songs on the album. Single abstract idea: different concrete situations [ edit].
The speaker is commenting on how persuasive arguments for fighting against terrorism can be because everyone is scared after 9/11 and the train bombings in Europe. By this interpretation, the song serves both as Linnell's introduction to and self-review of the entire album. Granted, my logic may be flawed as I don't remember the particulars of the refugees in the Superdome but this is the only thing that seems to make sense concerning a stadium. This song at first seems to be about caesar and rome's first first watching the video. Find rhymes (advanced). One is that you are so convinced by the power; it has its logic that just clearly makes sense, but the logic is so unmoral or threatening that you can not follow it. I'm guessing that the phrase inspired the title of the song and that it is the point of all its bombast - pounding desks & chests, torpedoes in vests, and monsters with flaming breaths.

All the time we're spending vaccinating this disease I just get dizzy when I think of all the ways we try to hide our maladies We wine (we wine), we dine (we dine), and everything is fine Because it's not my fault.

Seems to me it's about someone being swayed by a militaristic dictator's rousing speech (the "stadium" imagery brings the Nuremberg Rallies to mind), but unlike most of the masses, he's either slightly too rational or slightly too self-concerned to go along with it all ("my legs aren't following"). Etymology of impressed. I believe that "I'm Impressed" is about how Linnell was originally reluctant to work with a mainstream producer, but changed his mind after hearing how well "The Else" turned out in the end. What is the gorilla?
Support for the war in Iraq continues to dwindle. This is a great song about fascism. Set in the middle of a war/battle the gorillas are giving the narrator orders (being passed down from the general, to gorillas behind desks, to the gorillas in the war zone, to the narrator himself). I don't really agree with any of the ideas based on sarcasm, it seems like too much of a stretch for me. "I'm Impressed" is the kid literally being impressed with what he sees.

Being " inspired by events to remember the exits in back of me" is talking about exactly what it says; recent events have made everyone a lot more nervous and aware of their surroundings. Give it to me all the things we need. Listen to the pounding and the tone of his voice.
Additionally the repetitive use of phrases and hyperboles (I fall to bits) point to sarcasm. เนื้อเพลง Would You Be Impressed? Could also suggest 'west', and could refer to a military man's "brag vest" - like what a girl scout or brownie wears to show off her patches (or a general's medals or a dictator's self-awarded 'medals').

Good, but the tornado is from the west (Europe and North America), meaning that if its terrorism it is acts of terror that the West is committing, not acts committed to it. "Godzilla's flaming breath" - dictators are truly "monsters" and their weapon is often their evil tongue/words/thoughts/rhetoric/hot sarcasm - how can anyone really be impressed with rantings of mad men?
