There is some kind of solo in the background during this last chorus.
I haven't figured it out yet, but if you want to get a reasonably
similar
sound add some pinch harmonics in while you're playing the chorus.

| Here's how I interpret the song: "My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking scabs again" -He's accepting things that he normally thinks of as not him. His shadow is shrinking because there are fewer things he rejects. "Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me." -He's considering everything he rejects. He's accepting things, so he is coming closer to 46+2. "I choose to live and to Grow, take and give and to Move, learn and love and to Cry, kill and die and to Be paranoid and to Lie, hate and fear and to Do what it takes to move through. I choose to live and to Lie, kill and give and to Die, learn and love and to Do what it takes to step through." -He's choosing to do all these things, both things that he already accepts and things he pushes away, in order to evolve into the next step. "See my shadow changing, Stretching up and over me. Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me." -His shadow is changing because he, himself, is changing. It's stretching over him like it's consuming him. He opened the floodgate when he started embracing his alter-ego. He is hoping that by becoming everything at one time, he can evolve into a new consciousness. | |
