this is a huge song, largely because of the solo.

| My favorite song on the CD. You can tell there are parallells to Dirk like scott and Amnesia said. No matter what the meaning is, the song kicks ass. | |

| i think its about depression, and just how rampant it is. like when he says, 'you're all the above', its like "you're a textbook example of clinical depression". and of course he goes on to say what they all say: "Leave me alone, i made a choice to be this way" The unpaid confidantes refers to psychiatrists, who are always looking for other people to blame. It's just how entirely irrational depression is | |

| The bit at the end, with the eerie, twisting guitars fusing with the dj bit, sounds so much like mars volta its scary. It gives you time to reflect, yet its almost hypnotising... | |
