	Story Behind the Song The apparently chaotic melodies of the verses – though building off of a fairly repetitive verse line – was an intentional rhythmic style utilized to portray the reality of random thought flow (stream of consciousness) that is experienced by someone when they are about to fall asleep. The monotony of the rhythm, and duration of that monotony, are used to represent the dark quiet permanence that permeates everything in a somniferous solitude on the way to dreaming; the chorus, though common to almost all musical compositions, serves as the constant theme (no matter how non-sequitor) to which the mind keeps returning when thinking about something in an alpha state of consciousness. I could say more…but I’m lazy, so it’s up to you to see how the rest of the song correlates to those times when it’s dark. Lyrics Like, Crush, Love, Pushed, I sit back and wonder In those dark and quiet moments Why I can’t see The world that you pulled over me Chor: and falling down seems So hard on my knees But to get it: Need to get up and get over me We were so perfect The “us” I made us out to be Cause these [love]blinded eyes Saw me false and evinced personality Now I’ve cut these strings They’ve fallen from you, warning me That my puppet Was deceitfully dark, and as empty Conceit of the privy Of laughing, lying, laying On that practiced smile I bet Holden’d [Caulfield] be proud of me A well padded buffer [of] Amorous stares, and [of] envy (ofs are short) Hurt the one you love With spendthrift false security Lies to yourself - About one’s worth and commodity - Left unquestioned, Perpetuating false deity Bridge: In this world, you are what you eat, and I gobbled the portion of fools And I crowned you my foolhearty queen, and we’ll dine on these ill-fated souls Changing Everything in existence, from a hollowed-out center et al: Acerbic, reflective obsession, judgment without question,…and now Falling down seemed So hard on my knees But I got it And I got up and got over me
