Doip. It should be "Can't escape from yourself because you don't run." I love this song. The message seems to be both that staying in the past can only be detrimental, and that the majority of your healing/damage is done by yourself. The lyrics "You never see the present 'cause you're always looking back... counting down the seconds to a heart attack" strike a particularly strong note for me. In the last 5 years of his life, my dad started drinking on top of prescription narcotics, driving him to be abusive... his considerable share of personal demons from his past didn't help any either. He started getting better, but he couldn't forgive himself for what he'd done despite us having already done so. He kept eating unhealthily and drinking on top of narcotics, and died of a heart attack at the age of 45. It's pretty shocking how close this song hits to home, and makes me cry frequently. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Long story short, excellent song. |

A few lyric corrections. Building up the belly for a bumblee. = Building up a belly full of bumblebees. My baby's singing choir til your toe falls off? = My baby's singing choir until her tongue falls out (not too sure on this one myself.) And escape from yourself unless you don't run. = Can't escape from yourself unless you don't run. You are your own cure. = You are your own killer. |

| Sounds pretty much a very manic episode in the beginning. And for some reason, I love the line "It's the bright white light of the fevered dream", though fever dreams always terrify me haha. | |

Though I've never spoken with Craig Minowa, I feel like I know him. He just has an amazing talent for putting his heart and soul into his lyrics. I could hear his heartbreak in the songs referencing his son, Kaidin. This song is infused with pure love. In a world so full of terrible and unloving parents, it's amazing to see (or rather, hear) the unending love Craig has for his family. I hope he lives the happiest life imaginable... he's a good person. |
