Frame by Frame Lyrics

Cover art for Frame by Frame lyrics by King Crimson

I take this to be sort of like Tool's "Lateralus" -

It's about how someone is proceeding 'frame by frame' (in the small scale) with their analysis of something. They "drown" in their analysis, doubting themselves (by numbers, or predictably).

It's kinda what happens when you hear an 80s Crimson song for the first time and get absolutely lost trying to figure it out according to simpler musical conventions. Woah.
