Therapy

I love this song so much. I was addicted to it the first time I heard it. Definately one of my 16 Volt favorites.

This makes me think of an end of the world senario when everything has been destroyed by mankind due to war, and this song was written by the only survivor. He says he needs therapy because of all the things he's seen in war and these things will stay with him until he dies, thus 'kill the survivor whatever the cost'. The song pretty much dictates how someone thought that the destruction they started would end up helping in the end, but once everything is over, they realise that it was a mistake and ended up causing misery and they didn't want it to end up like that even though they survived 'i'm not ok and i don't want to end up hurting you'

I'm forced to assume it's a direct reference to the Veitnam war, or more directly, the people who came back from that war with a scared psyche.

Both the lyrical content, and the Asia-pacific sounding ambiance solo seen in certain parts of the song tell me this is likely the case.

and it's over now it's over now and I don't even know what i should do cause i'm not afraid, i'm not afraid of what i have intention to do

the battle is over the war is lost Can you survive it, whatever the cost? this is how it's supposed to be I think i still need therapy

and it's over now it's over now and i don't even know what i could do cause i'm not okay i'm not okay and i don't want to end up hurting you

the battle is over the war is lost Can you survive it whatever the cost? this is how it's supposed to be i think i still need therapy
