| @[Signal2Noise:385] To add to my theory, the last legitimate lyrics (The moments come and go like water, I try to hold them but they're fading) also may allude to how the sound you heard fades in your memory after an attack takes place. For example, at the end of the day of an attack, let's say you had the attack at 3 AM, you don't remember exactly what you heard or just exactly the sensation. It just... happens and fades in memory. I'm sure there's some psychological reason for that, but due to little research being done, it's up to interpretation. | |

My interpretation is that this is about Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS). Look it up on Wikipedia or do some research and it'll show that it's essentially something that takes familiar sounds that you hear all the time (the very first lyric; "The metal jangles as the key turns") and enhances them, whilst putting you in a state of paralysis, locking you to your bed before you sleep. The reason it's called Exploding Head syndrome is because it's so loud and feels so internal of a sound (like the sound is not from your ears, but legitamately in your head!) Also, the chorus only happens once in the song with random clashing and very inorganic clashing. Not much rhythm but Gabriel's lyrics. I have this syndrome, and man, it's terrifying. This song, if I am correct, is alluding to this condition. |
