  General Comment:i noticed that it sounded like there were some backmasking sounds at the end of the song and i played it backwards and its sounds like hes saying "save us". if this is right it adds more meaning to the song.

    It's actually saying "from the ins... from the ins... from the ins..." which is an example of Jamais Vu.
    
    You have heard "from the inside out we were formed" earlier in the album on the song Sang Real, but when it's played back like this, it seems foreign as if you've never experienced it before.

  General Comment:i noticed at the end of the song there is some backmasking sounds going on so i recorded them and played them backwards and im pretty sure "save us" is being said. let me know if anyone agrees with that... if so it adds more meaning to the song

  General Comment:he's gone and found peace and the one he left behind is trying to find him. he came back and is trying to comfort (her).
  "i'm not inside you, you're all around me"

  General Comment:I think of religion and the afterlife when I read these lyrics. Like college = religion. And you notice how the first time university is spelled universe-city. About all I get for now from this song. Still my favorite Dredg song.

  General Comment:'what does this song mean to you?'
  
  i can't possibly guess at dredg's meaning, as i know nothing about their philosophies, but i've just returned from a particularly engaging discussion in which this idea was presented: life is the universe's way of becoming self aware.
  
  thus, i'm inclined to think of the "you" as being addressed to the universe herself. this song, to me, is about the journey and eventual epiphany regarding life and energy... "i'm not inside of you / you are all around me / is this what you needed to have to comfort you?"
  
  "i wait all this time over you," brings to mind our mortal obsession with the afterlife (whether it exists or not, and if so, what is it?), while the tone of regret suggests a rejection of future and implies embracing the present.
  
  actually, perhaps on further study, my idea is neither relevant or consistent. :| i'm back at square one again.
  
  gorgeous song though.

  General Comment:The solo is amazing. It almost speaks as loudly as the words themselves. I can relate to the person who feels empty when listening to this song, though that was when I first began falling in love with it. Now? I don't know what I feel. It's like a puzzle: I want to put it together and understand it as a whole concept. But it's so difficult for my mind to comprehend what they could possibly mean. Honestly one of the most beautiful songs that have ever graced me.
