This song is about music. Its the end of a bad day. You go to your room, dim the lights and shut your eyes. Up goes the stereo volume. As the noise pulsates through you, all the problems of the day are drowned out by the sound in your ears.
well, this song is a story. It's a story about anyone who has ever poped a tape or cd into his or her stereo after someting really bad happened. Its about how the music takes them away.
I once felt the speed of noise.
I let the waves roll over me.
In the distance, I could see,
all the things i'd like to be.
I dim the lights, i close my eyes.
It takes me where i like to hide.
I will drift away from here,
Taken by the sound in my ear.
Black or white, it seems to me;
Shades of grey that cannot be.
A headache pounding, things unsaid.
The speed of noise will fill my head.
