    That its a 1984 reference should not really be a matter of dispute, if for no other reason than that the idea is attributed to 1984 whether it is actually mentioned specifically as "doublespeak" in the novel or not, and has no other real origins other than possibly from concepts in George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language" combined with his novel 1984.

    I think their is some references to 1984 but the main point of the song is we try to shut things out of our minds that challenge us or disturb us.

    I didn't realised about de analogy until I saw a interview a while ago, and reading the lyrics it's obviously the reference.

    As if you have to doubt that it's a 1984 reference, it's like putting Leonardo di Caprio and Kate Winslet on a duet and saying it's not related to the Titanic.

    it's clearly a 1984 reference, "I keep my toes on the party line", if you think otherwise just read the book and the lyrics and it'll be obvious

    Hey guess what, if I wanted to, I could change that page. Right now. So that it says that it has everything to do with 1984. And nothing could stop me. Or I could change it so that it says that carCRASHES thinks he knows everything about everything. Or anything my little heart desires. Again, READ THE EFFING LYRICS, and READ THE EFFING BOOK if you haven't. Its clearly alluding to 1984.

    I know it was doublethink, I said it was a reference, not that it was directly from the book. If you read the lyrics, and you've read the book, its pretty clear that it is.
