Standard Tuning (note: i’ve seen other tabs of this song done in an open C tuning, and
admittedly they sound better, but i hate tuning and retuning my guitar all the time,
so for simplicity’s sake i tabbed this one out in standard. and it don’t sound half bad
neither.)

This is another depressing one. I guess it's about how you're apathetic and numb, like; "why take another picture of the wall, while ur silently staring into it", sinking through deep black voids of depression, feeling that seconds, minutes, hours, days just melt together and fades away into a nothingness and your just sinking headlong down deeper and can't do nothing about it. And I like the indian instrument in the song.... Anyone know what he means with Petrol and Chlorine? Is it that Chlorine and Petrolium produces dioxins that are dangerous for the environment and causes cancer, and that brain is a pure square of grass, and therefore growing on crap and such? Does anyone know? thank you...

I think it's about suicide the "had the perfect job called life you didn't like it you resigned" makes it sound like suicide. the person resigned from life, and perhaps chemicals were involved. or maybe the person didnt kill themselves, maybe they just messed up their life with chemicals, like drugs and stuff.... and perhaps the lead singer, daniel, can't stand to see a picture in which the person who "resigned" is in, so takes it down, and is just feeling really low and depressed.
