I get it.

I could explain it, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone. If anyone wants to guess at what it means, give it a go and I'll tell you if you're correct.

It's Mitterand, it's Johnny Halliday, it's Gene Autry. It's a '68 flashback.

I get it.

Is it some sort of metaphor for voting? I can't seem to conjure up any other sort of interpretation.

I get it. It's a metaphor for what would happen if you dropped the statue of liberty off the top of a building over and over and over and over but it never hit the ground.
