It's perfect for people who feel they are more aware or more conscious than everyone around them. People who ask themselves. "Am I going insane?" or "Is everyone else insane?" E&A say that it is not insanity but the ultimate reality, and I agree with them.
Gems (Top Three)
1.) A Murder Of Memories - Track #8
It is a story about an old man who was sent to war when he was 18. It shows his struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder and how the war has affected him. The guilt of what he has done drives him to drink. He can hardly sleep and when he does it's full of nightmares. He's can't forgive himself, because he can't forget.
2.) Color My World Mine - Track #6
A story about a painter who keeps having a reoccurring nightmare. He paints himself painting himself. Claiming that it is the "only way to make himself real." It stems from the eyedea (pun intended) that we are all works of art. That we have been imagined by a higher being and that whatever we imagine creates life, that can in turn create more life.
3.) Birth Of A Fish - Track #3
Another story (I like story tracks) about a man who wishes he was a gold fish. Thinking about how great it would be, because all his worries would disappear. The fish tells him that life in the tank isn't all that he's making it to be. He then holds a conversation with his goldfish about how it's tank reminds him of his head. By the end of the song the man has a paradigm shift which "spun his whole world around." This song also work as a watered down explanation of what Eyedea is trying to portray in the following song, Powered Water Too.
-Don't Just Be A Robot, Be Happy
