An awesome song, from my hands down favorite band.
I think this song is about wanting something to happen soo badly. Anything. I think it's about hating to wait around and be uncertain when so much hangs in the balance.
"burn down my house and make something happen, stab me in the heart and make something stop", that sounds like he's just waiting for anything, anything at all to come along and wake him up, make him see, show him something, anything.
"cause I am so distracted I am slightly shocked by how things can keep going like a dead mans clock", I think that means exactly what it says, he's freaking out so much and doesn't understand how life is still moving forward even though something is happening or has happened that is so dramatic and has left him almost paralyzed, with fear? maybe shock? but definitely paralyzed.
"the walls are painted, different every second"... I think that just means he's getting a lot of random information from different sources, or his surroundings keep changing over and over again and he doesn't understand why they can't just settle down. It's chaotic.
"my eyes are of chrome, it is television".. something so big has happened that it's unbelievable, almost fake, yet it's heavy and intense and traumatic all at the same time. Chrome is slick and shiny yet heavy and scary, so I'm thinking it's something so surreal it almost seems fake and unreal (television).
"layer by layer, i'm peeling away", I think this represents an emotional state described by important critical physical characteristics.
this song can be interpreted in soo many ways. I think every one above is right. Katatonia is just too awesome for words. ;)
