Out there song, really defies the lyrical conventions I am used to. The way Sam Beam strings such ideas together is unreal, like Michael Stipe and Neil Fallon can do within their respective ways. I can't decipher this beautiful piece of sonic lyricism, but I love how it flows together and maybe that's Beam's intentions overall. Don't decipher, don't infer, just listen, just internalize, and just be floored at this man's artistry. Need more be said.
