Well Worn Hand

I found this interview with Tom about the song:

"I wrote the words to that song when I found out that someone I went to school with was killed on their way home from work, for no reason. It's not about that event itself, it's about how I felt hearing the news. I can't even begin to imagine the kind of person that would do that to another human being, so when I heard I thought, 'Well, what's the point? What's the point in going outside? What's the point in having any hope at all?' That's all the song is really, just those thoughts....It's a lock the door, stay inside and throw away the key kind of song."

it's sort of like a no-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel sort of song... but I love the lyrics in spite of their bleakness... "I'm so sorry for the things that they've done/ I'm so sorry about what we've all become"

the most moving song i've ever listened to since many years.

God....... it's the end of the earth; the world as we know it.

Obvious troll is obvious

I read somewhere that a friend of Tom from school was killed and that he couldn't believe people could be so cruel. This song is about that, how after that event it felt unsafe to go outside. Not sure how much truth was in the article.

My dog was at home when my home was broken in to. We were both left traumatised. When I had to put my dog down I placed a typed paper note in his ear before he was cremated. The words were the penultimate sentence in these lyrics: "I'm so sorry for the things that they've done". Like the original meaning behind this song, I wondered "what is the point of going on after this?"

I don't want to go out on my own anymore I cant face the night like I used to before I'm so sorry for the things that they've done I'm so sorry about what we've all become

I don't want to go out on my own anymore I cant face the night like I used to before I'm so sorry for the things that they've done I'm so sorry about what we've all become

I don't want to go out on my own anymore I cant face the night like I used to before I'm so sorry for the things that they've done I'm so sorry about what we've all become

Obviously this song is about a vampire who dosn't want to be a monster anymore. I'm really starting to belive Tom truly thinks he's some sort of night creature, every single song of this album talks about vampires or similars. It's clear as crystal.
