Standing at the Threshold Lyrics

God damn I love this song. Raw, primal, poetic. I think that it tells a story of a relationship that began as one shared based on two coinciding personalities, characterized by intensity and self-destructive tendencies. The story proceeds to show an unsatisfactory demeanor when one person grows out of the troubled lifestyle and the other is stuck in the rut of self-destructiveness. DEER TICK RULES!
