| Horse the Band – A Million Exploding Suns Lyrics

I interpret this song both ways, it has too many references to The Sentry to not be about him at all. He's the mightiest of all Marvel superheros. An enhanced super soldier serum causes the sentry's molecules to be supercharged by the sun and move at a different rate than the rest of the world. He's been around since before the Fantastic 4, but no one remembers him because of the Watchtower. Bob Reynolds doesn't remember much about his life as a superhero; he lives his life as a regular person, a slob more or less, laying around the house watching tv and sleeping most of the time. The Watchtower is a kind of safeguard created so the Sentry doesn't remember his powers, and so the public forgets about The Void. The Void is the Sentry's alter ego. He claims that every time he does something good, the Void retaliates with something just as bad ("the strength of my High is the strength of my low"). "The Void is holding me tight." describes being crippled by the fear of the void taking over. Of course this is just my interpretation, as the Sentry is badass, but there are several things lines that don't quite fit. Nathan may be comparing himself to the Golden God of Good, but it's not clear if his statement about schizophrenia is true. He has referred to his alterego is General Beam, as he usually comes out after drinking some Jim Beam. |

Really, I don't know if you really could say for sure what this song is about, but I take it as holding on to something that's inevitably going to die or end. Maybe a relationship. Hiding these turns the once beautiful pitcher into something else. It could also simply explain how someone could deal with an transition. I haven’t asked Toby about this particular song, so I’m not sure myself. This is just how I interpret it, and that’s what Toby wants you to do for yourself. |

This song is about the loss of innocence, and the bleakness in realizing that the magical eyes you saw through when you were a child just keep closing and really don't ever re-open. Fortunately, however, we follow this song on the album with "Birth Pains of Astral Projection," which is a solution to the sentiment in "Girl..." - being that you can re-open those eyes via other means. |

| Burzum – Burzum Lyrics

This is the lyrics to "Dunkelheit."
Dunkelheit is Norweigon (maybe German) for Darkness
Burzum means darkness too, in the "black tounge" of the Orcs from Lord of the Rings. |
