and his had me down. In love with the dark side I fell, dabbling all the way down. But you changed that all for me—you lifted me up, turned me round.
...Incredibly redemptive words from such a doubting Thomas.

i think the song (the whole album, in fact) is about or connected to his mother, Judith's, death. The same Judith he was singing to when he sang:
"Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ
He did this, took all you had and
Left you this way, still you pray, never stray, never
Taste of the fruit, never thought to question 'why?'"- isn't that a hymn?7point34
- No it's a hyrlocustsloth

Yeah, she should've slapped him for those words. If she hadn't been paralyzed. I think he worked out some of the venom by the time of 10,000 Days. Losing a parent gives one that sort of perspective.
Glad his mom still prayed, maybe some day it will all sink in for him.

I lived alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mindWhat did I see? Could I believe? That what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasyJust what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?'Cause in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despairNight was black was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or just some kind of hell

Hell and fire was spawned to be released

yeah, from what I gather it is about his mother. How she still was still deeply faithful in God after she became paralyzed.

and he still refuses to do 10,000 days live anymore. It is too rough for him to do.

10,000 days didn't blow me away to be honest...
a couple good tracks there, but it's the droning songs that go on for hours and the noise tracks that put me off.
maybe i need to give it another listen and really pay attention, but still feel undertow and aenima were the best
- I agree wholeheartedly with that which you've said. (as long as you add Opiate to that list)locustsloth
