I need to shout about Distraction for a minute, so bear with me.
First off, ouch. Big fucking ouch. That thing has been licking the wound it helped create ever since it came out.
Second of all, the repetition of "it's too late for me" always being the background noise to an otherwise quite quiet song, other than the breakdown, is absolutely diabolical. The breakdown feels like a panic attack. A complete and utter mental breakdown finished with a scream-sob of something that has permeated the whole song; it's too late for me. It's always been too late, even with the help of Her, She who is not like any other and is far more than one could ask for, it's too late.
It's always been too late. She found him in the cold waters, on the verge of drowning in self hatred and tried to pull him up, but he didn't want to get Her hand damp. He is not worthy of it all and he screams for the final time for Her to let go because it's too late.
And then everything stops. We are back to the beginning; the quiet, repeatative beat of an anxious heart.
What makes it worse? Distraction is a loop. Starts on the same chord and ends on the exact same one with the same beat. She comes back again and again but it's still too late.
Distraction is a loop of self hatred laced with the inner turmoil of a Thing that doesn't believe it can ever get better because it fears the help of others. It believes it's not worthy of touch, and so rots in falling further again as it warps into something it never wanted to be; broken into fractions and driven to distraction.
#this one hurts me#I say a lot of their songs hurts me but this one cuts deep to a personal level#I've spoken about this maybe once or twice before but I suffer from chronic insomnia#so I've spent years trying to fix myself and being afraid of the help of others because I physically cannot be myself anymore#I'm riddled with self hatred tiredness and wounds that at this point I myself am stopping from healing#I've always belived it's too late for me- that I'm past the point of no return- and that I'll eventually die from this#so it was quite euphoric to hear someone scream the exact feelings I've been experiencing for my whole life#apologies for the vent#sleep token#st#distraction#distraction sleep token#this place will become your tomb#tpwbyt#mel's rambles
