Primary Emotions/Themes: The end of the world, ebb and flow, accepting life for what it is
Thoughts: I don't have much to say on this one rather than it hits deep. The opening of the album is spoken by a decrepit old man. The words painted by this voice describe this album a thousandfold better than I ever could with my own:
"The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel,
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides,
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
Were trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death...
I said: 'Kiss me you're beautiful - these are truly the last days'
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open my wallet
...and it's full of blood."
