This song is supposed to be funny, uplifting and a little bit ridiculous because if we can't laugh a little at ourselves then we are just setting ourselves up to live in a world of hurt.īallad of Jane Doe is about a real life scenario that puts "how good a lot of people have it" into perspective. There are a whole bunch of things wrong with these lyrics including some cliché old school sexist lines to put the song right on the edge. Teaspoon of Metal is a humorous way at poking fun at the cynicism by bringing back a sleazy metal tribute to the 80's. Look for the goodness in people but don't get caught in the miscellaneous games. The last verse is a rant about not being naive to possibilities of foul play no matter where you are on earth. It is the same effect when a person you know, walks into the room extremely disgruntled and their bad mood rubs off on you.Ĭynical Wasteland is the global song stating simply that there is dysfunction no matter how far you go. It seems people are driving in 6 lanes when there are only 4 because everyone is in a hurry and every person feels each others hurriedness. This stress is similar to that of any fast-paced town or city in any part of the world. This song uses Calgary as an example describing the high profile stress of the city and how you can feel the heaviness rising as it grows bigger. so grab a hold of the reins already!įOCFOM is a song that is intended to explain the environment of the pit.

No one has a right to pull anyone down from their chance to fulfil a good life for themselves. In the song you can hear "stop pulling me down". After almost a year I finally snapped out of his grim daze and realized what the hell was going on. This fear created a bitter taste of the world in his mouth, and not shortly after I met him it began to take a toll on me. His fear of failing was so extreme that it made him completely dysfunctional, sometimes to the point of even starving himself so as too feel like he was in control of his environment. It was inspired by a young man I knew who was extremely brilliant with lots of potential but he was drowning in insecurity. The first song, kicks off the album with a complete statement about what the music is going to be about. Whether it is dealing with the daily battles of ongoing events with or without other people, or dealing with internal struggles. Every song relates to the dysfunction of people and the choice they make in terms of staying or leaving a dark place of mind. Out of the Pit is a concept album about pushing through life's obstacles without being dragged down by the negativity in the world.
