	Tindalos, where is your nickname from? Because if it's from where I think it's from, you rule.

No Picture Mike Average	#2 by Mike Perron at Aug 6, 1975 at 9:39 AM EST
	Fixed the lyric a bit. Looks much better now. Any thoughts? Something to fix?

	[ 6th_sadistic_sniper: "Tindalos, where is your nickname from? Because if it's from where I think it's from, you rule."] It's an H.P. Lovecraft referrence.

No Picture john Average	#4 by john at May 3, 1985 at 8:46 AM EST
	Knowing Opeth (and their tried and true theme of sadness usually resulting from loss of loved ones), it's probably a woman who did the narrating character wrong.

No Picture sam Wanna Be	#5 by sam johnson at Nov 11, 1988 at 2:31 AM EST
	I think its about someone dying and him dealing with the dreams

No Picture Sir Slinky Lead Player	#6 by Sir Slinky at Apr 27, 1992 at 11:54 AM EST
	It sounds like this song is about stabbing someone in the chest and watching them slowly die as they cry.

No Picture Prince Alex Lead Player	#7 by Prince Alex at Jun 9, 1992 at 8:16 AM EST
	could be taken as being out of a relationship with someone and then not being able to stick around them as friends without causing chaos. you want to know how to go back to the way things once were in the beginning, but you dont know how to manage your own emotions to let you. maybe the person would be better off with you out of their life completely rather then stick around and tear them up with all the static tainting your thoughts and feelings.
