| the desperation and hoplessness, the self-loathing... it's hard to imagine he could get that down so perfectly without actually being there himself..... i'd venture to say that matt was feeling nearly suicidal when he wrote this..... it's absolutely beautiful, even if it is depressing as all hell this song actually helped me get through a bad time, just knowing i wasn't the only one who felt like that...... | |

| i think the title captures the whole song; it is the fine art of falling apart. "i walk alone and i ride alone" Matt Good's aneuristic lyricsm always provides an insight and from these lines, the loneliness of the world when everything starts falling apart is captured here. "There ain't enough room in this world/For people like you/And horrors like me" The justification of giving up he offers hits too close to home; we're falling apart and "looking to blame somebody" so we don't die for nothing. Everyone just wants to remembered. "I'm certain of it" Ever felt everything collapse? There's so much unknown. But if you're certain of it, you're that much closer to fixing yourself. | |
