quiet part. played very lightly, sounds like these notes, but it's hard to
hear the guitar.
i'm gonna live...

D---11---9---9----9---11---9---9----9-9-9-9---11---9---9----9---|

muted, this part is varied with fill ins that would be too tedious to tab
about, but you can play variations of this.

I think this talks about how we all isolate ourselves, but its sung in a sarcastic way. Like why would we really want to be alone when we feel like sh*t? Wasting time watching TV so we dont have to pay attention to the shit right outside the window. Everything is filtered out and you can watch exactly what you want on TV, or you can sleep, and not listen to the people around you (the decal man i guess). Specially that family sh*t that drives everyone nuts, and asshole friends who dont care.

Bullshit virginia, only the ugly cassanova project was about graham, moon and anartica is just a more general album that deals with mortality and isolation

Whether or not "Cassanova" is a myth, this song is about self-imposed isolation. Someone felt ignored by society and even his closest friends and family, so he's basically saying "Fuck you guys, I don't need you anyway." But then the sarcastic tone implies that isolation is no better than being ignored, and that he's just being petty and childish. I think EVERYONE has felt like this at one point or another - "If you don't need me, I don't need you."

the cassanova thing is fictional. just a promotional gimmick. nonetheless, great song. great riff. you too can have fun with modular scales. have a great day.

I think this song is incredible, I don't know why it isn't more popular. But whatever, i love it.
