A truly heartfelt and emotionally stirring work. The lucid lyrics create powerful and poignant imagery.
Lonely undertones and expressions of isolation suggest that the subject/protagonist has become lost, alienated, and disillusioned with life:
"Taking all I know about nihilism and trying to build it into a life"
"In your arms, I don't know who I am"
"Every life has a start and finish"
"It was nice to believe for a while"
It would be an over-simplification to call this a song about suicide, although I believe there are some serious allusions to ending ones life: "I walk the streets down to the shore and I sink into the Pacific. This is everything up to now ending."
I also love that this song sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom; the raw sound and grittiness contribute to its sincerity and pairs so well with Tom's intensity as a vocalist.
As if it were possible to pick only one, I may very well appreciate this as my favorite AM! song.
