The Storm Before The Calm

You can break this song into two parts. The first part is the storm, and the second part is the calm. The song starts with warming words, but they are sung very chaotically. The first part of the song is filled with desyncopation and anxiety, frequently not finishing lines, and a sort of monotony to the words. Then, the anxiety and chaos is increased through a wall of white noise. It climaxes, and then the song completely changes tone. The second half of the song is relaxed and peaceful, but still energetic. The singer completes each line, the song slows down, and a calming piano.

Everyone is going to have a different meaning for this poem, but i can tell from personal experience that this song perfectly describes what it feels like to survive a suicide attempt. The anxiety, everyone telling you "don't worry, it will be ok" but they all sound the same. The drum pounds feel like a pounding heartbeat. And then comes the wall. The wall of noise not only represents the feeling of the world crashing down on you and overwhelming you, it also makes you feel it, and it hurts. Here is where the split comes. I think the split represents the action, probably suicide. Then comes the calm. For me this is the feeling i got when i woke up in a hospital bed. Life opens up a little and you can breath for a moment. Im sure though that other people might interpret this calm as dieing, and that makes alot of sense too.

I think that this song represents state of mind during and after smoking joint.

Continue with my idea about that the album is all a one song... This one is the most hard song.. is like the main character is dying... So the fear overcame him... His is dying and "It's getting colder Let it get colder until I can't feel anything at all" But he or she is not dead yeat.. or does know... all is the confusion "Am I still here? As one with the fear Am I still alive? As one with the fear"

This song is outstanding !!!!

And go to the next song...

The song, on a personal level, describes the process of my first step of my life journey of moving towards spiritual enlightenment and what transpired after my first true meditation. Although, after the session, being in tune with the universe (Calm - as described in the later song Internal Landscapes) but not allowing the release from the conscious mind (Storm) - as of yet. Questioning the validity of the experience and the existence. A very HUMAN song.
