Gosh, the harmonies of this band have to be the best, current and with Layne.
This song is so beautiful. It really struck a chord when I sat with the lyrics. This is how I personally resonate with the song anyway:
I see it as being about hardship, keeping going. Being alone (breaking without a sound - no one to hear you). Dreams that haven’t gone anywhere, needing a change of scenery. “I know how false the floor, how high the sky” - I see this as stability in life being an illusion (anything can happen or rip the rug from under our feet) and how our dreams can feel out of reach, hopelessness. There are no guarantees in life - you have to fight to make things happen. And you can only rely on yourself. The chorus illustrates that we should not place our hopes in others, it’s a form of self-harm because we are the only ones we can count on. Stop counting on illusions that incorporate other people. Truth might hurt, but it’s best in the long run, and it’s better than fantasy. Keep trying. Roll with the punches. Take things in stride. Fight.
