This is about an obsessive relationship. It was a woman that I met that I just couldn't stop obsessing over. I knew the relationship wasn't right for me, but I stayed in it anyway. Nothing could help me break away. Everything about her I believed was special even when it wasn't.

This is about a relationship that I wanted to end for a long time but couldn't. Finally she did it for me, and I felt so relieved. I basically just said there's the door and see you later. But I also wanted to end it on a positive note, so I tried to say a final goodbye and is tactful manner as I could.

This lyric really symbolizes a lot of my life. I was constantly running and running and running, hoping things wouldn't catch up with me. Basically I was running from time, and you can't run from time because it's always with you. Sooner or later everything evens out, in the past becomes the present. You can't let go of the past until you rectify it. It affects everything in your life when you try to run from things, but at the time you think it's the right thing to do. I realize now how I was just a scared person running from myself.

Sometime we realise what we've lost only when it's already gone.

State of the world song disguised as a scary song.
