I heard this on Stargate Universe. It is what made me aware of this band. It seems like the only true new music I find is by using my phone to tag songs I hear. |

@sevenyears, it needs to be taken with the previous line "Close my eyes for a while" It is a common coping mechanism when one it feeling frustrated to the point of anger. You close your eyes to regain control, to calm your emotional rage to either for a patient simile or pretend the world is patiently smiling at you. Another way to look at it is that "perception is reality" and his emotional reality is anger; but he pauses, closes his eyes and forces from the world (his anger filled internal world) a patient smile which is not reality. I think that this anger at the world comes out from the first line. He "rip(s) the earth in two with your(his) mind" : internal anger to vent his anger; But then suppresses the anger "urge" by sealing it up with internal brass bonds/wires. Since he obviously is recovering from an outburst, he is trying to apologize in line 3. |
