Fracture Lyrics

When the light's out
and all of the fracturing starts
You're just paying
for some action you lost in the dark

You come down, holding tight, to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling

Now your guard's down
and all of your timing has gone
You were patient
'till earth swallowed the last of the sun

You come down, holding tight, to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling

It's not complex, see all of the signs flashing on
You're just paying, for all of the bad you have done

to me it's about learning with your mistakes, specially learning to deal with the fact that some consequences are definite.

when he says "You were patient/'till earth swallowed the last of the sun" it makes me think of a person who's been denying the reality of the choices he/she's made.

at the end, he lays the plain truth: "It's not complex, see all of the signs flashing on/You're just paying, for all of the bad you have done"

I just love the way the song stretches...
