I'm kind of surprised no has mentioned this before:
He was always distracted
By the very mention of an open door
Because he had sworn not to be what he'd been before.
I know Narrow Stairs came out before The Open Door EP, so if there is some connection between the two, it would be that The Open Door EP was sort of modeled after this line/song. I think that The Open Door EP couldv'e been written from the perspective of "what he'd been before." I also love the metaphor of "an open door," it's a fantastic and horrible thing at the same time and so present in almost every person's life.
