Feel the vapor pressure drop as the dark
steam pours out the entrance
Real cold world is swirling in to a club that keeps the life world out
Where every sense seems deathly weak from the frozen time you spent in transit.
The glass dance world flickers on and the low end thaws your anxious body
Maybe I feel detached, I may just look too shy
It's a disinterest not that I'm a timid guy
I call them bodies but, they are attentive too
I feel the social glare, I feel the attitude
Watch as mirrors clear themselves with the breath of frigid air that eased in
Made up babies all rotate as a siren spins a beam of amber
Time sliced beat by beat in a row, in a club, in a line, in the city
The glass danse world flickers on because the cycle happens enough:
A baby fall out warm, it's screaming for its life
An infant tries to dance, as it grows up then dies
steam pours out the entrance

I think we all agree this a damn special song and a grip, like me, get pulled into the electronic element because their rock vibe. Definitely one of the most underrated bands I’ve heard for the past 15.
Anyways, I’ve looked for the meaning and haven’t seen anyone nail it. Some of you ravers get close, but after 15 years of listening I just understood and it all became very apparent. Brilliantly written, because 99%that write of such life experience do so with a whiny/ self-pity tone. Todd just usually takes it on as what is in the moment. I almost don’t want to give it away since I don’t know if it’s out there. I’ll give you a hint- they lived in a Nebraska town, which I’m guessing is rural with few things to do, but.... and every line is a perfect metaphor, even the title. It’s probably why many of his songs were sexually driven. Anyways I love how Todd never bitches, but states the facts about it and what other people actually feel too, in the moment. If you’ve ever had a ticket and taken this ride you’ll know, if not.... it’s probably meant for us. Hope you’re doing well Todd.
@SoundFrequ yup. Crystal meth. There. I said it.
