A few metaphors going on in this one, but basically the horse represents us being crushed by capitalism and the work week (a recurring theme on this album). It’s essentially lamenting how we run ourselves to death creating wealth for others.
I knew there was meaning to the album cover, but I never did look into it that deep. My version of it was this: You are a born a Champion horse, a thoroughbred and you excel at racing. You are the best in class, until one day you are not. You run your last race, and break your leg(maybe get an incurable disease, or a brain injury which leaves you in a coma or worse - alive and just breathing, but still conscious) and your owner and the people on the track cover you up(nothing to see here) and put a bullet in your head because that is what they do with horses who are injured like that... That's the way I always saw the cover - You are A champion until you are no more than a Nuisance to someone else. I really appreciate your analysis of that. We may or may not meet politically, but that is of no matter, that was a great way to put that together.

Unreal song - Wilhelm are easily in my top 5 bands all time, along with Strung Out

Chuck’s lack of movie experience continues to astonish. This upcoming movie challenge keeps looking better and better.
