sorry if this was a post before, i'm too lazy to check...i just want to share what i think the meaning of Speed of Sound is
i think it's about someone who is off fighting in a war and waiting for his/her time to go back home. It's moving so slowly and he just wants it to come quickly and that he goes back home alive ("and that somehow i'll survive"). He's missing his wife/husband or girlfriend/boyfriend. he's wondering if he can deal with he PTSD when he returns home. (can i forgive what i cannot forget and live a lie) he's/she's waiting for the general to tell him/her, that his/her tour of duty is over (waiting on a word that never comes). he/she day dreams of his/her significant (a whisper in the dark, is that you or just my thoughts) he/she realizes that the day he/she returns home is farther away than he/she thinks
really it could be anything cause he writes it so generally that you can relate it to anything. it's just the parenthesized lines above that leads me to think it's about someone is off at war...but really it's about anyone who has an aspiration and can't wait to achieve it
there are lyrics in the music section under the comments for SOS...what is your interpretation?
P.S. this is only based on the demo version and the lyrics in the comments for Speed of Sound. i did not listen to a leaked version and i don't plan on it
