I would just like to comment on the intensity of the music and how it complements the mood, depending on the section of this song. The bridge (Come again...can we relate) is like an unleased cataclysm; a harsh, corrosive, enraged sound accompanied by sharp drumming and frustrated vocals that seems to break out of the "captivity" mentioned in the first stanza. However, it is subdued by the lush ambience that dominates most of the song.
And that's what I love about this album. It develops emotions as the song progresses through shifts in mood - not only in vocals, but in atmosphere. You end up in a completely different place than the beginning (which is refreshing instead of starting and ending on the same riff), and, as a result, you're taken on one hell of a ride from start to finish.
For some reason most Karnivool songs remind of complex relationships; the "umbilical wires" line seems significant to me. It tells of dependency, estrangement, and loss. Hard hitting, as always. I will never tire of this album.
