The overall concept of "Ten Silver Drops" comes to a head here. The album centers around that careless moment when lovers are fighting and an offhand hurtful remark goes beyond its intended mark, and scars the receiving person too deeply to recover. The bulk of the eight songs reflect the perpetrator of the remark, overcome with remorse for uttering the thoughtless words, realizing that his remark was the last straw for his former lover. "1,000 Seconds" closes the album with the recounting of the actual fight. Who knows what it was about? It's not important. It's the fact that words went too far and the pain of knowing they can not be taken back that matter here.
