A pretty straight forward song but a good example of TMBG's style of setting a painting a rather horrific story with lyrics set to upbeat music. In the song the singer is continuously being reincarnated, but every night a voice tortures him by recounting all the evil things he's done over all of his past lives. The horror is that when he wakes, he doesn't remember the torture and guilt, and goes back to living a self centered life, where he just commits more selfish evil acts, thus adding to the torture he will have the next night.
