Song Meaning of “Monument Of Stupidity” by Dropdead
The song “Monument of Stupidity” by Dropdead speaks to the mass of human action that serves only to further the suffering of the masses. In a world where so many powerful forces have entrenched power, it doesn’t take long to see that these structured systems are far from perfect and often actively work against the interests of the majority of people in favor of the privileged few. As the song says, “A monument to stupidity, that only furthers our suffering.”
This track also expresses the idea that it is us, the people, who allowed these systems to exist and accepted them, essentially setting up a monument to all of our collective suffering. We have the power to create something better, but all too often, we sit idly by and allow the pain and suffering to persist. The song calls out all of those who continue to participate in this growing “monument of stupidity” and calls for a revolution to move past injustice and lead towards a better future.
