blaturingouked I do agree that Dustin is a lyrical genius, but really if you read deeper into the music, it is way more interesting, or at least as interesting as it was for previous albums. Take the Sky Is Falling for example. It breaks out with a distant and dissonant humming, but really that humming is more than just that, it is the buzz of a WWII fighter plane. If you listen closely, you hear the snare drum hit almost continuously, but erratically. This is supposed to be the sound of machine guns firing at other plane. Crashing symbols occasionally represent the dropping of a bomb. It is so deep musically, you just need to dive into it.
And as far as time signatures, Daedalus alternates between 7/8 and 6/8. So you can't say that there aren't crazy ones because 7/8 is pretty abnormal. Oh yes, and on the topic of Daedalus, if you listen to the guitar right after the words,"Maybe I've spoken too soon," you will hear a little descending cluster of chords which totally gives the impression of Icarus falling into the ocean. I mean, the music isn't heavy and uncut anymore, it's tailored and cleaned. But this does so much for music if you are willing to dig deeper.
I don't really know what everyone else has written, but to me it sounds like a guys (quite possibly from the 1920's era, as said before) who's doing his own thing, and has to justify it to (what seems like) his wife in the song. While, in the back of his head, he hates what hes doing, but knows hes having fun doing it, and where he gets his "buzz"

Sabio, you're so into Thrice, it's not even funny :P
I like the "tailored and cleaner" Thrice a bit more myself.
