15. This song really brings out a different understanding of the Oil Spill in the Gulf and how it was sort of ignored a lot by the public. I think this song had very strong lyrics for anyone that may have been involved in it. I really liked doing this visual representation because it helped me learn a lot about the song that I would have never knew before.

14. "We were told just to sit tight, cause somebody will soon arrive" I think this could have a bunch of different meanings. One of them could mean to just hold tight and stay strong as things will soon get better. While another possible meaning could be that people were told to hold on and wait for help that never came.

13. "We keep axes in the attics, to see cameras in the sky" Apparently people who live in areas that are likely to be hit by hurricanes will sometimes leave axes in the attics to chop a hole in the roof in order to escape their house and find the rescue helicopters, or "cameras in the sky".
