Information
One of the few songs in the record on which Matt Bellamy is only credited on its composition. An aggressive string song, with atmospheric sounds that suggest a bomb attack. The Prole Quarters are basically, one of the neighborhoods in where the "Proles" or the "lower social class" live, it is the place in where Winston usually goes to let himself go, however, it sometimes is the target of rocket bombs, a "common occurrence", and is the place in where old things and "antiques" of a foregone era can be found, the last evidence of the past that was erased by Big Brother and the Party.
The hunting-down and destruction of books had been done with the same thoroughness in the prole quarters as everywhere else. It was very unlikely that there existed anywhere in Oceania a copy of a book printed earlier than 1960. The old man, still carrying the lamp, was standing in front of a picture in a rosewood frame which hung on the other side of the fireplace, opposite the bed.
― George Orwell, 1984
