Art is subjective, it's funny how often it says more about the viewer than the person who made it.

Heck I always intrepreted the song Dream Thieves by Sonata Artica to be about betrayal at the hands of an oppressive authority figure...

It's actually about music piracy, how it negatively effected the band's income, with the implication that a fan who pirates music is disloyal as a true fan would want to contribute to the livelihood of a musician they like..

I don't really agree with the intended message and I still like the song because of MY interpretation, but damn that does make the line "Download new lies on your scythe" make more sense in context

Personally I feel like "Piracy is always morally correct" and "Support Indie Creators whenever possible." are not contradictory viewpoints. (Admittedly the song was written when digital media was a new concept)
