I have done the same thing with my wayward friend and with something much more sinister as well. He couldn't feel anything, and so he drove himself deeper and deeper into it in a search for stimulation. It is about many things, but it deals directly with pornography. No, that's all bullshit why must it be nothing but an addiction to drugs? How hard is it to consider he fell down that far? Also, a lot of the artwork has schizotypal indications. But if you head to toolshed dot com and look at all the lyrics in a row, you will be surprised to find that this ideal holds through most of the album. The next song, called Eulogy, I think is the "death" of the first speaker, where the second speaker mourns in a mocking way.Īnyways, this is just a loose interpretation. These two stanzas I believe are the first of the second voice of the album. Till you will not have me any other way." The speaker knows he is numb to everything and needs something more, Ok, that points been hit hard already on this forum. In the beginning of the song, the speaker is obviously dealing with something troubling. The whole of this album I think is devoted to becoming schizophrenic, or at least dealing with schizoid thoughts and feelings. Rather than breaking the songs up, since all of them relate to each other through Maynard's (or the "poet's") voice/struggle. Ok - So this entire album should probably be looked at as 1 song. I haven't tried to develop this theory too much but it seems to make sense to me.
