Jupiter's Eye

The first time I read these lyrics I just about shat the bed. Beautiful imagery, powerfully written - like every single word has been considered carefully. What a fucking way to describe loss and longing, "my dreams of her are violent". The comparison to the planet Jupiter and its storm is a good comparison to the way he feels - the sheer magnitude, starkness & destruction that is happening out there, we are oblivious to even comprehend.

• 2.Jupiters eye describes the characters slow dwell into insanity further as well as his longing.Notice the use of heavy percussion and rhyme through out this song that drives the feeling of insanity. This story plays of sometime after Rotten Yellow."Doomed lovers in a free fall,together till they crash to to ground"Is this something he reads in a newspaper or does he describe the 'accident'?He longs for his sweet disappearer (sleep,drugs,maybe Her?) "as this avalanche of night slides down"-the loneliness of the night that brings turmoil.Then he describes Her when he first saw her at a bonfire.Her alien eyes(something alien to him that he didn`t knew back then)flicker a moment in the flames then follow the smoke into the sky - she would also later in the story arc be engulfed with flames.He describes loosing her like loosing a limb(Phantom Limb-the illusion that a limb still exist after it has been amputated).He cannot say goodbye to her and his dreams of her are all he still has but they are disturbing like his emotions.The story of this song creates an image of the girl but also the emotion of loosing her.
