westward expansion
it was an idea romanticized by some americans. the woman represents "american progress" leading settlers toward land and success. the print shows the stagecoaches once used to transport mail and passengers, the railroads that replaced them, and the "prairie schooner" wagons in which pioneers traveled with their belongings. the open landscape was originally home to indians and the buffalo they hunted, but settlers had arrived to farm the land. image

daydream delusion
limousine eyelash
oh, baby with your pretty face
drop a tear in my wineglass
look at those big eyes
see what you mean to me
sweet cakes and milkshakes
i am a delusion angel
i am a fantasy parade
i want you to know what i think
don’t want you to guess anymore
you have no idea where i came from
we have no idea where we’re going
lodged in life
like two branches in a river
flowing downstream
caught in the current
i’ll carry you. you’ll carry me
that’s how it could be
don’t you know me?
don’t you know me by now? -
