Wow, I can't believe there's no comments on this song already. I think it's a great song by a great artist. I think Slug's message through this song is to tell us to always hang on and live our lives no matter how hard it seems. In the song he's talking about bad emotions that he has but he says, "I can't help but wonder what’s over yonder" so that's kinda saying no matter how bad it seems he's always looking forward towards the future and it makes him hold on. Also the line where he says, "It’s the sound of emotion enough to make me wanna hang myself from the rafter that’s over my bed / But when I stop to climb the ladder that’s embedded in my heart I start to question all the emotion in my head," means that whenever he feels like he's going to kill himself inside his mind, there's always something telling him to chill out and just hang on. That could be totally wrong, but that's the only thing I can really think of.
