sheep?

Post by Automatic_Flowers »

I saw Yellowcard's Ocean's Avenue video the other night and I noticed that on that woman's purse in the video there's like a sheep on it or something..and in brand New's Sic Transit Gloria video..the door and the girl's shirt have the sheep on them too.. anyone know why? it's probably some simple explanation, just curious

holy shit! What are they teaching in school? :P

Sheep are generaly used as a symbol for ignorant masses, and following. When you call a group of people sheep your calling them ignorant or followers. I haven't seen either videos, but i have seen Brand New's previous video with sheep on the door to the bar.


PS that shoul make my "pray for the sheep" quote in the sig make more sense
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
