Alien

my favourite DLC song, easily. the melody is so flawless. Unfortunately the lyrics are so hard to interpret, and then ... trying to understand them is an even bigger challenge!

Perhaps it's about two people clashing, the persona is trying to find some sort of common ground, but they 'don't fit' and the more he tries the colder he becomes and the more pain he brings to himself. The 'why not come closer, so we don't fit so we pretend' symbolises some sort of dysfunctional repetitive cycle of abuse where they can't let go, but they pretend to make it work(?) and because the lyrics are repeated, that may reinforce the repetitive nature of the crisis.

I just love hearing his voice, hitting all those notes, and that guitar, and the bassline!... epic song. they really have their own unique sound i've never heard before. i'm thinking of parts of tool, the mars volta, and The Butterfly Effect are all in there, but they're so original. Score 1 for aussie music. DLC, keep up the amazing work! this is arty stuff!

yea, that seems to be about it, however it may not necessarily be 2 people. It could be himself and his creator "GOD". but i am swinging a little closer to him singing about a chick, but ill keep an open mind about it. I guess only the great KIM BENZIE could answer that 1 for us.

My belief is that a couple has broken up, and chose to remain friends. But because of that, the man wants even more to be a part of her love life. He thinks of all the ways they could have been together. He realizes that if they continue to see each other only as friends, he'll end up hurting himself. So he regrettably end their relationship entirely, with a broken heart and a clear mind.
