Song Meaning of “Deferment” by Capitalist Casualties
Deferment is a song by Capitalist Casualties depicting the futility of current society, illustrating our self-defeating attitude and lack of progress amidst the struggles of our every day lives. We are all striving for something greater, whether it’s money, power, or just a sense of belonging. Yet we’re blocked in our mission by the deferment of our dreams and desires, held back by our own thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. The song reflects the feeling of stagnation, of being stuck, unable to move forward. The idea is that our dreams and ambitions can become deferred, and our progress can be put off for another day if we’re not careful. We may never achieve what we set out to do, and our deferred ambitions can become a long-forgotten memory. Yet amidst the struggles of our day-to-day lives, the realization that our dreams and aspirations can be deferred is enough to make us lament our current state of affairs.
