Lets face it, aliens, in popular media are most often insipid, and completely leeched of any psychological or sociological depth, there is almost a inverse relationship in many alien films that the only beings capable of technological ingenuity of any kind must somehow be monstrously depraved. As a human race, we are eminently arrogant enough to circumscribe our alien characters to the mold of being entirely dimwitted, monstrous, and easily domesticated, and easily eradicated above all else. The premise and themes behind some of the lyrics only deepened and crystallized in my, and i was reading Dawn like I did for Interview with the Vampire. This greatly enlightened me on the deeper directions fiction can take.
