Instrumental rock music, generally lumped into the category 'post-rock,' often involves long, melodramatic song titles. Well, I'm not one to stand in the way of tradition, so this one's title is extra dramatic.
The best part about instrumental music, for me, is that you can insert your own meaning into the metaphorical space the lyrics would have taken up, despite many bands' attempts to use song titles to influence your interpretation of a song's meaning. I like to think of this one as a religious-political love song about feeling disconnected from a modern world that's moving too fast. But maybe you think it's about a moment of grace, or a broken heart, or a missed opportunity; or maybe it's about that weird feeling you get coming out of anesthesia, where you know you're hurting, but everything's so fuzzy and dizzy that you can't quite wrap your head around the pain. Or maybe it's about kittens and balloons, you tell me.
