| This a qoute from E about the song...""After My Descent Into Madness it’s a kind of flashback to the time before things went wrong.To the innocence of the childhood, but there is a dark cloud waiting above. A 3 Speed is a bicykle from the sixties. It starts like that, she is riding on her 3 speed. It’s a symbol of the innocent time." refering to Elizabeth and her writings from a book he found while she was in the mental hospital. | |

| This song is about E's sister, Elizabeth. Basically he's wrote/sung it from her point of view and shows how she feels and what she thinks about. | |
