The song is about his wife having Fibromyalgia. You do not die from it but the pain is horrible and throws many into deep depression because no matter how hard you try it is very difficult to get up each day. Between the pain and fatigue hours turn into days and days into weeks and weeks into years as time simply passes you by while you sit and watch helplessly. I have Fibromyalgia but I was born suffering from delusions of grandeur and many talents that keeps me busy... the trick is to never stop thinking or learning that way there is no time to think about what you are suffering. I played drums professionally for 25 years until I was forced to leave the stage in 1997 after the pain became so I great I couldn't even get off the thrown at the end of the concerts and had to be carried off stage and pack myself in ice and cry for hours and swear I'd never set foot on stage again only to find myself right back on stage the next night. I did have a period of 3 or 4 years where I listened to no music, the doctors had me drugged out of my mind and by the time I knew it those years flew by and I don't remember any of them. I fought my way back using music and getting back into the geeky stuff I always liked. On the really bad days I would go for 72+ hours without sleep and when I made too many typos I tried to sleep. I began a business in music as a Publicist/Promoter/Radio Scout/Manager/ & A bunch of geeky stuff and if I stop for 5 minutes it would be very easy to fall into that empty world of nothing due to the pain but I have never allowed myself to be depressed and the trick to that is never stop thinking in a forward motion. Thinking is my favorite pass time, creating is my passion, and living is what drives it all. There isn't anything that can be done despite all the medications they claim work its a case of the cure might kill you so you are better off finding a good focus point and stay with it until it becomes second nature. I cried when I heard the song and found out what it meant as my husband a guitarist wrote me a song however there are no lyrics but the song is very pretty and soothing to listen to. What Rob put into those lyrics are EXACTLY what it is like to have this horrible affliction and what it is like for those around you because there is nothing they can do therefore they feel helpless so open communication is very important for couples that are going through this horrible incurable life long illness.
