this album is more like one long song than a collection of songs to me. it tells the story of someone who is trying to develop, taking you from one place to another.

pressure

in order to force himself to change, this person puts himself under pressure. the pressure to finish something on an impossible deadline, for example. something he does not think he can accomplish.

chaos

the inevitable result is chaos. nothing seems to work the way he wants it to. he loses control and gets scared, becomes paralyzed.

late
invisible

late at night he locks himself up and isolates himself. he realizes that he only feels strong when he is alone, because there is no-one around who could be stronger. he decides he needs to go out and meet people to heal himself.

dance

he meets girls at clubs.

rock

he tells them he's a rock star, and they ignore him.

love
sex

he falls in love with a girl, but does not realize it until he hurts and loses her.
