| i wonder how into photography these guys are... they make lots of references to it in different songs.. this one they say Adjust the aperture to focus on the negative Like phosphors in the darkroom ignite Like dodging faces in the corner of the print Frame by frame this hole is opening and we fall in most people wouldnt know that unless you a photog. that's tizzight fo shizzle my nizzle | |

| the world hurts sometimes, but dont find solace in death. start a new beginning. a rebirth. you're not going to find any guidance in the dark... so make the world better for yourself. people often feel like they are getting sucked in the hole of misery and hopelessness and i think this song definitely defines that. | |

| it's really sad that more people haven't replied to this song. not only are the lyrics beautiful but the pianos at the end make your cheeks tingle. if i had to break it up i'd just look at the last two lines. they say a lot in two simple sentences. this is truely a thinker. | |

| I interpret the song as saying that there is a lack of human compassion and caring in the world. That is the "hole in the world". It also seems like it says that you should get on with your life anyway: "When the world comes crashing down. Part with it. Start again." | |

| to me this song is about the general problems of the world and how it will all end soon and how the world is living without love and compassion...a very relevant topic. XXX | |
