I realize I'm a little late for this post but... people... let's put two and two together here.
If you've seen the video, the song has an enormous element of insomnia in it (obviously). The song name is Alaska. Certain parts of Alaska experience one month of straight darkness every year. No sun. An insomniac's worst nightmare (no pun intended).
"Nature can be the death of me."
"When is the fucking sun coming up?"
"Then is all changes, same scenery, sun involved. Shouldn't be much different."
The man depicted in the video keeps getting up to look out the window for light (IE the key to cure his insomnia) and continues to not find it. Things shrink in the room to miniscule sizes (Maybe to makes him feel like the room was getting smaller? I don't have a ton of thoughts on that) and such. This song is definitely about insomnia, and what could make it better than a month of straight darkness? :)
If you can disprove my case, I'd love to hear yours. I've never actually heard Tommy quote this but... watch the video, read the lyrics, listen to the song and then give me your thoughts. Always happy to expand on my Between the Buried and Me philosophy.
Oh. And BTBAM (namely Tommy, Paul and Blake) have some of the most unnaturally talented musicians of our time. I saw them live three days ago. Fourth time. Keep it up boys. Keep it the fuck up.
