i like this song because its easy for me to relate -
"I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire
Exhale desire
I know it's dire
My time today"
basically explains how i feel, i feel like i have limited time on this planet which equates to a finite time inwhich i have to conquer all of what i want to accomplsh with my life. "i ponder of something great" i have all these great ideas and the ambition to conquer them, but i have to keep in mind that time waits for no man, no matter how great he. or his ideas are
"I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole
My car radio
And now I just sit in silence"
basically explains how he suffers from "racing thoughts", he can't turn his brain off because he's constantly thinking about anything and everything in every scenario possible. he can escape this feeling by sleeping, but when he's not sleeping the only way to preoccupy his mind is with music. with no radio he has no way to block out his thoughts
"Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it
My pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve
My skin will scream
Reminding me of
Who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving
There's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel"
now he hints that even though some of his thoughts are pleasant and hopeful, he also has negative feelings in the same, quiet, thoughtful manner. this verse is further explaining the point that without music, he is forced to deal with his thoughts. serving as a constant reminder for everything. he feels so lost and helpless that he even goes as far as saying "i could pull the steering wheel" hinting that he could run himself off the road (suicide) and end this constant feeling of not being able to escape the monsters in your head
"I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh my,
Too deep
Please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound"
further explaining the negative side of his constantly racing thoughts
i think this song is basically about how when someone stole his car radio, his thoughts drove him to have suicidal ideation, because he has an overactive imagination
@herestolife1000 Maybe they could be racing thoughts or maybe they are the same thoughts over and over. So yeah, they lead to suicidal ideation but it could be a depressed way too, not just manic as you say. Nice analysis though, this is just my point of view.

This is where I think he's talking about cutting himself because he can't the depression anymore which is why his skin is literally screaming... just my opinion

@herestolife1000 That is exactly what I was going to comment. That is actually what first caught my ear- that his mind is racing, he is depressed, and can't deal with life to the point he is screaming on the inside and letting it out through his skin... This is deep stuff <3
