What I see about this is that they take the world at face value and choose to see "magic" in the things that they, and a lot of the people who they relate to, see on a daily basis.

And shocked at myself for saying that about an INSANE FUCKING CLOWN POSSE VIDEO. Needless to say, video is cheezy as hell and the music definitely sucks. But dude's talking about lucid contemplation of the universe, the beauty in small things, finding everyday miracles without needing a god. I can't help but agree! WITH INSANE CLOWN POSSE!!! Even the whole "fuck scientists" part is kind of understandable – science is awesome but the enjoyment should come from the things you learn about what's around you, not tech pr0n for the sake of it. Too bad in practice juggalos tend to be a bunch of homophobic macho pricks... Wow. Gotta say, I’m impressed. And shocked at myself for saying that about an INSANE FUCKING CLOWN POSSE VIDEO.

Listening to the song, I never once interpreted it as "I don't know how any of this works, so it must be magic" but rather as "look at all the cool shit that goes on in our world."

I'm willing to give them props when props are due, but musically this is not much better than a demo that would get laughed at and tossed in the trash at most record labels (trust me, I've been there.)
