It's not really borderline personality disorder I don't think. I assume you're referring to the "Screaming and cursing and..." lines. To me those are more the roller coaster of dying and watching someone die. Which is such a completely intense experience. It feels like the person that is ill isn't the only one who is dying, but that you're being completely drained as well. That amount of stress, mentally and physically, can cause people to behave extraordinarily erratically. The narrator seems to be recalling how the person he loved and cared for would explode on him and tear him apart because of how much they hurt, only to regain their control and immediately weep and apologize because they knew how much he hurt also. The narrator is trying to describe those emotions to you the best he can throughout the album. He's trying to make you realize the extremes of devotion and love, a lot of people don't realize these feelings even exist until they have them. I completely understand why so many people who have commented on this album seem so confused about the emotion they feel while listening, but the very fact that they are feeling something is making them understand more and more about themselves and how they relate to the people they love. It's amazing to think that just watching someone listen to this album could be that beautiful. |

There are a few callbacks in this album, little lines that pop in and out of songs... they make me smile when they creep in.. it's a nice relief from the crying I do in between. |
