Anberlin – A Whisper and a Clamor Lyrics 15 years ago
I understand what stephan is trying to do, but he doesn't really give you a clue to the underlying message sometimes. In A whisper and a Clamor, the only words that even give a slight hint to alcoholism is "thirst for substance." but even then it only hints to drugs, and liquid form.

More lines of the song point toward a break up.
"you can hear me out alright, Please take these feelings for her inside, My chest hurts when I breathe tonight" "this is our last goodnight" "this is where love ends,"

It makes me laugh that stephan says that we don't understand his song and have to look deeper, because sometimes he only gives us a tiny clue to the actual meaning, i'm sorry but i can't read his mind.
