One of the two (First Reactions & THE CHILD WE LOST) left field songs on the album I think - that aren't really related to the main storyline except for relations emotionally and mentally, ie:

"We took opposite steps Tried to even the stress Picked a safe direction but You never know the way the ice thins" Kind of like what two people in a marriage would do (metaphorically of course). They tried to level the stress in the marriage and it failed.

Crazy emotional song though and very cool concept.
