| How To Destroy Angels – The Space In Between Lyrics | 2 years ago |

It's pretty easy. Sure, you can read anything metaphorically. But to me it's illustrated for you, being essentially a Reznor song. There's not much ambiguity. A couple killed themselves, they are lying on the floor, entangled (in a final pose). There's blood on the TV screen (hate begins to spill across the screen). The ongoing referencing of "blinding light illuminates the scene, try to fill the spaces in-between..." can be a combination of two things: all the flashlights from the police and first responders, and the fact that, well? Presumably, when you die your eyes begin to dilate so you're just going to see all that as white...until it's finally lights out. I'd imagine the "trying to fill the spaces in-between" is trying to see around all that and making sense of what you're seeing. It sound just like the graphic thing Reznor would write for his wife to sing lol The guy is a f'ng master of horror. |

"Water down your empty soul..." is a pretty good clue. It's an expression used for coping, via, alcohol. "Wake the sea of silent hope" is another. Wishing your problems away...hoping they one day will fix themselves. "Fire the fields the 'seeds' are sown." Is what I think it is and could be interpreted as destroying your life/ life's progress...your family. "I need you to recover because I can't make it on my own..." It's about substance abuse. Drinking. The war is a metaphor for what it can be like to stop. Namely, battling your demons. The song is ultimately about making it, at its baser core. So applies to the game for which it was used. Applies doubly so to someone with a substance abuse problem. Also, I don't think it's "fire the fields the weed has sown." You sow/ plant seeds, but you can burn grown weeds...this can be a significant difference in meaning. |

I used to love listening to this album on the bus. These lines used to strike home to me on this one: "Feeling uninspired think I'll start a fire Everybody run Bobby's got a gun Think you're kinda neat then she tells me I'm a creep Friends don't mean a thing guess I'll leave it up to me" These lines sum up the entire song. It's being pushed to the "f**k i!" point by something --could be anything...everyone has a different problem. As some have mentioned, anyone who struggled with any amount of depression could relate to this. It's similar to Pearl Jam's "Jeremy," except that was a real story based on a boy who had been pushed to extreme actions/ his limits. Those who have been fortunate enough to be at the top of the proverbial "food chain" wouldn't know even the fraction of this feeling. Whether it's a longing for kinship/ fitting in, loneliness, abuse, rape etc.(FYI not all of these were me, but just examples) being invisible, particularly to the female eye, and, though, perhaps, having had friends, but not "real friends..." just the sort of friends that were only around as long as cool shit was happening (another reason why the "Friends don't mean a thing" line struck home). My friends didn't help --they were out for themselves, in the end. For instance, me finding out that "a friend" fing***d and f***d the girl you've been interested in for the past two weeks, after track, an evening before you took her to dance, only to find out she's not interested in me, but is also not dating my friend, but evidently liked him enough to get him laid...and after that your friend still has the nerve to tell you "she's cute! You should go for it!" Because he knows that he doesn't like her for long term material, but enough to f*** her, but now I've got that in my head, and in reflecting back she only gave you that no-tongued kiss as a charity --not a gesture, which is in keeping with the theme of me evidently being "very sweet, but not guy material..." all throughout high school...and this got me even lower. "Feeling uninspired, think I'll start a fire" and "everybody run, Bobby's got a gun..." lines are basically fantasized events of acts of desperation...the things most know they won't actually ever act on, but imagine themselves playing it out to in song. Inside you know it's not the sort of attention you really want. Just something that says, "f- you guys! Look at me now!" While making things uglier for yourself. Thankfully, most of us don't act on these because our rational mind knows that this just ends messy, and, well, I really didn't want to die with everyone thinking I'm a psychopath," though, technically many of us are psychopaths for the thought itself, and more people are certifiably psychopath and lunatics than you'd think. It's just that some people throw rationality out of the window, awhile others have significantly more foresight and self-control. Scott was familiar with it, and that's why he wrote it. Ever fantasize about harming a teacher, boss, or foreman? It's all in the same alley...we won't necessarily act on it, but it's anything from a fleeting thought, to a fantasy. The funny thing about this whole era of me, and I suspect others, is the idea that you had not been alone the entire time. And, perhaps those that were willing to be there for you. Be it, that one friend, or family member, or others in your shoes you never spoke to and that you wish you had spent more time with. |
