A buddy I worked with in Japan had struggled some like I had. I wrote the song about repressed emotions that brought me down. The song was meant to convey the overall message that tinted the album. I realized most of the songs on this project revolved around it but never really set foot upon it.[/size]

Based on the time I spent in Nova Gorica, it became something about the nature of evil and the death of nature inspired by Ernst Becker and ‘Supper’s Ready’. [/size]

It opens with me, trying to impress the seagull in the window, a useless endeavor. So you made a bird proud, who cares?[/size]
