Silent Life Lyrics

Last spring I would listen to this song while I was working as a courier in London, looking forward to visiting California in the Summer. I didn't like my job very much but the imagery this song conjured up got me excited about going away. To me it meant leaving the city ("hear the sirens fade") and going to the countryside where I could relax and recharge, clean my "poison pains" and melt my "frozen heart".
