| Withered Hand – No Cigarettes Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| This is one of the most raw and emotional songs I have heard in a very long time. It's haunting but beautiful at the same time. I love it when an artist can capture their experiences so perfectly. I felt sad and also relieved at the same time. | |

First off, I'm assuming he didn't send her a picture? Maybe he was really insecure and unattractive. She was at least brave enough to send a picture. These things happen though. I had a similar experience, I did actually meet the person though. We had a good time at a concert but when I texted her the next day she said "I had a fine time but i'm not interested in hanging out" I asked if I did something bad and all she said was "your pictures weren't accurate." Talk about OUCH. so I really feel this song on a "personal" level. |

| Why? – Act Five Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I never had a song sack me in the gut so close and so painfully before. I felt it rise slowly from my stomach into my heart then up into my throat until I felt like I wanted to throw up. The song is so beautiful and sad and relevant to my life right now. I am losing my grandparents right now both mentally and physically. I got to talk to Yoni for a little while after they did a free hometown show in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, I was a blubbering sloppy drunk at the time to share with him how his lyrics have changed my life. And dammit, now I can't even remember what we talked about... I think it was about headphones. "There is no grace in act five..." |

I can totally relate to this song. There's isn't much of anything out about epilepsy. I am 26 years old and started developing signs when I was 25. My first seizure mostly affected my vision; I was completely conscious, but partly blind. I would experience auras for the seizures where I was conscious. But, lately, since September, I have been experience Clonic Tonic (Grand Mal) seizures - Becoming epileptic in your mid 20's, something that you were genetically predisposed to is no picnic. I experience no sign before going into a clonic tonic - Luckily, there were people around during these occasions. My mom said I let out a scream right before it happened & she just thought I was mad at the computer I was trying to fix or something, then she saw my eyes were rolled back in my head. After that, convulsing- Only injury that occurred was where I had bit my tongue, and it bled a little. Point being, yes there are many different types of seizures. Some people experience visions, while other people become completely unconscious, convulse, are disoriented, and afterwards have no idea where they are at or what happened. This verse really struck me: As I came to a screaming Hold me while I'm dreaming For my fingers are curling And I cannot breathe The screaming reference really hit home for me because it's something i've done before a generalized clonic tonic (grand mal) . When the seizure first starts in its tonic phase, every muscle in your body tightens, and it forces your diaphragm to push out a noise. Then the clonic phase is the convulsive part. I never know what happens to me during that period of time but I have foamed at the mouth or my eyes have rolled back in my head. I am always out of my mind when I somewhat regain consciousness, experience a very intense feeling of Jamais vu ("Instead of feeling extra familiar, thing seem totally unfamiliar In this case there is too little connection between long-term memory and perceptions from the present.)" Also, people who experience temporal lobe seizures feel a closer spiritual connection in general, see visions, things like that. So the very first part "She's the Christ now departing" also felt close to me. Anyone interested in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (which is absolutely fascinating) should read the book "Seized" by, Eve La Plante. This song was well done and I am glad that it was made. |

| Honestly, I don't believe it's about a person at all. I've listened very closely to the lyrics and he doesn't say, "Well, I'm tired of this black and blue" the actual lyrics are: "World, I'm tired of this black and blue." The black and blue might be about being bipolar. I know the feeling. | |
