This is where the drum bit kicks in, play each of these notes about 12 times.
|-------------------------------------------------------------
|-------------------------------------------------------------
|-------------------------------------------------------------
|-7-----9-----10----12-----14-----17-----19-----21-----22-----
|-5-etc-7-etc-8-etc-10-etc-12-etc-15-etc-17-etc-19-etc-20-----
|-------------------------------------------------------------
Then the main tune starts again. Just whack a bit of distortion on and repeat the same
parts as above. Basically. There are chords played over the last bit I think, but this
is mainly just the lead guitar tab

| The pacing of this song seems to represent the emotion of everything closing in on you. It starts off really slow which is when the walls begin to move. By the end of the song, the walls are crushing you and there's no way out. So you would be panic and your heart would beat faster, so the music is very fast by that point. When the music stops, it's finally all over, so it all fades away, and the emotions stop as well. | |

| "The walls get smaller" This song is a metaphor for nearly anything you want, I swear. | |
