Throughout 'Blue Sky Mine' Midnight Oil employ a range of rhythmic and descriptive techniques to portray blue-collar workers as victims of the inhuman mining industry. Through symbolism, the band highlights the industry's callousness in regard to workers, whose lives are risked for the benefit of these multinational corporations.
