[edit] First Line

The first line of the song, "Darkness at the break of noon", refers to a nuclear explosion.

i thought it was a reference to the book "darkness at noon", a novel about communism. --Progjunky 10:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I have read that this song "is to capitalism what Darkness at Noon is to communism." I have also read the nuclear interpretation. But as I don't have a good reference for either, I'll just take the line out. --ubiquity 12:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] THe "politicians" portion has to go...

It's unsubstantiated, and barely relevant to the song. The comment that Gore selected this quote as a method to distance himself from the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal is absurd and unverified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djcbuffum (talk • contribs) 04:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Sopranos: inconsistency?

Excuse me for watching too much television but I'm pretty sure it's the episode in Season 6 Part 1 (IIRC) where AJ and his girlfriend are making out and accidentally set the car on fire - and not the final episode - where this song is used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.13.128.101 (talk) 00:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
