Rust (The Short Story of Mary Agnosia)

With all the images of rust and technology, it would seem to express the dismal realities of the human condition. The song seems to mourn for the wasted potential in all of us (machines rusting to breathe/Hopeless, helpless, deconstructing ourselves). When he talks about never finding a home, I think he means that we're never satisfied with ourselves. Instead of taking our inferiority in stride, we have this tendency to crumble (we're a tired nation). We want to be taken anywhere, because we have no home in ourselves (no sense of acceptance). The "nobody wants me here" seems to refer to ourselves more than anything--we don't want to be ourselves. We'd rather be somewhere else, away from our realities, and pretend to be anything. Disillusioned is a good word for the overall mood of the song.

I dig it.

lovely song.

the title is actually "Rust (The Short Story Of Mary Agnosia)"

Yeah, these were the lyrics to the demo before he put up the album version. I updated it.

Here's something cool I found from his blog:

Nobody analyzes songs anymore, come on guys this is a great song.

Anyways, this song is almost a third person/first person song about feeling unsuperior, and as much as you try it becomes shadowed by the world around, and in this it makes the person that this song is about feel unwanted. The person in the song is wondering if they could or ever be wanted, it's a pretty pessimistic song, but if you know Stephen, I bet this is about all the unfortunate souls that he helps in the impoverished countries in Faceless international
