Outside your understanding of life you will find your place

Although more than your place, this could actually mean song. Daft Punk’s idea of music is very metaphysical and magical. Your song could stand for the harmony with which you should/could live.

While lyrically simple, the ideology of de Homem-Christo and Bangalter does seep through here, which can be found very interesting.

Imagine something beyond the boundaries of what you know. Break the boundaries of your aspirations and imagination and continue to dream

If the world rejected you would you accept the rejection or continue to search for acceptance?

Drinking only delays and distracts people from lifes problems. It can give people the feeling they’ve escaped their issues but they still remain

Laos, is a country situated in Southeast Asia, bordering Burma, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. From 1983 it was under French rule until 1945 where it briefly gained independence following a conflict between the French rulers and Japanese occupation. Laos returned to French rule until it was granted autonomy in 1949 and officially achieved independence in 1953. A Geneva Conference took place in 1954 with the purpose of furthering calls for peace in Indochina which was subject to a major confrontation between the opposing forces of North and South Vietnam with both sides fighting for influence over Laos. The US dismissed the Geneva agreements and continued to support the anti-communist politicians and military action of Laos. They did this by disguising their actions as non-military supplying equipment and training to the French Military and anti-communist fighters and employing the CIA to provide intelligence and political influence

The US received much criticism for it’s foreign policy and it’s perceived imperialism and hegemony. After the Cuban Revolution the US begain to impose trade restrictions on Cuba which steadily became more and more serious contributing to the deterioration of bonds between the two nations. This is based on Cuba’s political policy. It has also been criticized for it’s opposition to independent nationalism

Throughout history tensions have arisen between various states and countries who govern their state in different ways. Two seperate but overlapping forms of governing are economic systems and social systems which both contribute to the formation of a political system. Past and present governing systems and ideologies include; Anarchism, Capitalism, Colonialism, Communism, Fascism, Feudalism, Imperialism, Monarchism and Socialism among many others. These each have their own political, social and economical characteristics

During this time tensions were rising between countries allied to ‘Power Blocs’. The divide was between the Western (Capitalist) Bloc and the Eastern ‘Socialist/Communist’ Bloc. These tensions are often described as the Cold War. A significant event in these tensions was the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union, aligned with Cuba stationed nuclear arms on Cuban bases in close proximity to the US

Following the Cuban Revolution of 1959, Cuba became a communist state. Communism is a socialist movement which aims to bring about equality for all citizens by redistributing wealth equally and making all businesses state-owned in the hopes of creating a classless society and eliminating poverty. Cuba is situated in the Caribbean approximately 150 km from the United States, “a few steps away” in distance as well as time as five years prior to this speech the former Cuban government had close diplomatic ties with the US. Che describes the US and an imperialist state responsible for exerting it’s power throughout the world

A sovereign state is a state which exercises independent rule over the state. This rule is done with little dependence on external states or other systems of authority. A state can claim sovereignty however external powers can choose not to recognize a states right to independence which can potentially damage diplomatic ties and cause disputes over land, trade, politics etc.
