I think it's trying to make it sound dark at the beginning, and when it brightens up it's kind of the calm before the storm.

It's a new realization that the people can live again, noted in In This Twilight, and Zero-Sum, but quickly shot down for most of the people it is focusing on in the latter song.

Second only to Zero-Sum in my opinion. Even if it is a little plain, I think it's one of the best instrumentals Trent has ever done. The idea it conveys is the important part, and I've never felt such a conveyance of hope, or false hope in a track like this before. The distortion is wonderful, and the ambience building just makes the whole thing so much more dream like.

It reminds me of music from The Road to Perdition, if anyone has ever seen that movie.
