    i feel bored and then I fall asleep.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    i feel like the song carries you along on the crest of a wave, in the middle of nowhere....

    Good thread..
    This song soothes my soul.. I see a road in the night (not raining, just a calm, warm night).. Sometimes when I'm in my car back from work I feel like the man in this song.. This song alone is more worth than Avocado in its entirety, in my modest opinion.. I hope they will include more introspective and emotional songs like this in the next album.. Fuck those useless punkish songs

    When I've listened to it recently, all I can focus on is figuring out the time signature in the verses. I'm a singer, so I should really be able to work it out, but it eludes me. Little help?

    like a rainy highway with flashing lights .. maybe over looking the ocean/city at night.
    all i know is that this song creates this incredible universe in my brain every time i listen to it. easily in the top 3 best pj songs ever for me. and if you listen to this song while smoking the ol' marijuana, oh my!

    Wow.. this song creates visual landscapes.. I see a dark setting.. very late dusk over a calm ocean. Almost surreal.. a sad, dark, nightmare landscape, but an awesome experience..

    Awe hell no.. I don't like Help, Help one bit.. Sleight of Hand just creates an atmospheric landscape.. its not a favorite of mine, but it takes me to places most songs don't.

    Its a song that makes you take stock of your life. Look at what your life has become. For me, I see alot of myself in the main character.

    For me, one of my greatest fears in life, is the mundane, the routine. Waking up and every single day is exactly the same. You are a machine. Nothing is new. No surprises.

    The character in this song is dealing with these issues.
