i'm just amazed they took one of the best lyrics of all time and somehow made it better. thanks to Genius dot com, this lyric lives a rich and vibrant life in my mind's eye
I mean, this is my favorite lyric of this song, and pretty much my exact interpretation of it haha, there's just lasers in the jungle somewhere! it's outta control!
edit: actually I figured this was in reference to some piece of news from the period but it doesn't seem to be easily available on the internet if so. Maybe it's a "you had to be there" thing, where "there" is 1987.
"Just as the Moon’s history was disrobed by laser ranging 50 years ago, Earth’s tropical forests are giving up their secrets to the light."
