It’s a metaphor for wanton destruction, indiscriminate, total. It levels everything in sight, out with the old, room for the new, the outset of a revolution.
But a wrecking ball is just a machine. A big one to be sure, yet still a tool, a vehicle, a spare part–the last one that needs replacing. It’s not the ball doing the annihilation, but the driver. It’s not the driver, but the foreman, or the one percent, or the unbearable weight of social change.
It’s just a giant piece of forged steel. It’s just the end of everything you’ve ever known.
