I think is about depression. Specifically I think is about feeling depress and overwhelmed by emotions while the ones (I think it's quite possibly referring to society as whole, like people turn blind eye to the problems around them, or that are too ignorant to comprehend, or something like that; but I guess he could also be referring to someone specific) around you are just effortlessly breezing through life. -So that's why some parts are talking about opposites, like: While I lie here burning (him) you're encased in ice (others) -With tainted eyes upon your tainted soul (the tainted soul would be because of the faults committed whether by omission, ignorance or with knowledge) -It's no wonder I'm so cold A terrible thing I'm learning as tears are turned to ice This are about giving up, he was "burning up" but now he is just cold, numbed -These four walls will be my dreaded foes As I rot here in this hole this is why I think it is about being depressed, it is really hard to get out of the house, or your room when you are feeling overwhelmed and depressed, so you stay inside, and the more you stay isolated inside the "confort" of your walls the harder it is to get out of the overwhelming feelings that led to the depression in the first place so just begin to rot in the hole you yourself dug -Restless seas will murder me tonight As you appease effortlessly the open mouths of hungry thieves Again this are like the opposing parts I was talking about, while he is drowning in his own thoughts, the "other" is effortlessly going through life -There'll be no silent empathy inside No colour or shades of hope And then maybe he is judged by the "other" for feeling too much, like people who don't believe depression is a thing, or that think that you can get out of it by summoning positive thoughts or whatever, but he knows is like that, so even though the there's no empathy to ether side he knows that for him there will still be no color or hope (he will remain overwhelmed and depressed) |

@[Existenzleid:14674] well, is not really surprising considering Patterson and Moss have both been writing for Antimatter :P I think Moss's song are a little darker than Patterson's but in general they combine so well they seem to be a joint collaboration. I bet they would have been great together if they had put their minds to writing the songs together. |

| Menomena – Strongest Man in the World Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I agree with menomenation with what he said about the man attempting to maintain an emotional composure. And I think the part when he sings the "I promise to keep this under my control" is like if he believes he needs to be strong or made of iron for someone else, and the fact that he sings with such sadness in his voice is an indicator that he not only dislikes his position but also that he knows he is bound to fail no matter what. | |

I think the key point of this song is definitely the duality of oneself, they even pointed it out in a page they used to have long time ago, the used to have this phrases at the begging of each lyric, that, in a way, described what the song was about, in this song case they wrote: "Release yourself, from your duality." For me what it means and why I like this song so much is because I believed it to be about this person who is very sensitive and has been guilted into being something else his/her whole life and so he/she acts in a certain way that is slightly different from who she/he was before, kind of like if your self has been fragmented into two parts. But then it happens again and again, until you can no longer tell who the real you truly is. And think it happens to everyone to some degree, the thing is that we don't always realize it. But that's why we act different depending on who we are with. We don't act the same when we are with our family as we act when we are with our friends; so in a way it is normal, the issue comes when the fragmentations takes parts of you that were important to your selfness and you end up losing yourself in the parts to the point when you can no longer tell who is the real you. And you think if I could only eliminate this others me, but it is not that simple, because every single "part" has a PART of you, and that's when the " Who is that really dies, when all the people look at me? " fragment comes from. O.k. I may have lost myself in the explanation here, jeje, it seems as thou I'm just rambling but I'm not, I truly believed the song to be about this, I just didn't know how to explain it. But in any case I think is an amazing song, I have even appropriated of the name of the song as my pseudonymous |
