Because of the depth of the Lyrics I personally feel these songs are memoirs of Ian's past, and his hope for the future.
The ambiguous style and the missing story is typical of someone describing past emotions, missing points as they fill the story in their own head.
In this way, Ian creates lyrics that people can project themselves into, filling the gaps with their own life story and thereby create their own memoir that they connect too. This is the Magic of Karnivool.
I know that I for one have found these songs incredibly illuminating. This album brought me back from a very dark place in my life.
