about

On the subway, our stressed and over-worked hero attempts to unplug a strange and annoying yellow light above him and in doing so shatters the light and a bag of red powder falls down on his head.

He spends weeks trying to discover the origin of this strange powder. He becomes detached from work, friends, and even his beloved television. He is utterly lost. He does not know himself, and in a moment of desperation runs outside into the heavy thunderstorm.

He draws a circle on his left arm with the powder, and the rest is history.

lyrics

Awoke just in time, late for something or something else file onto the train, whereupon we meet the same strangers every day, always angry at someone or someone else, overcome by the noise and the incessant yellow light buzzing above my head.

Of course, just my luck! My head is pounding, the stress is bubbling. Must stop this maddening strobe!

I reach into a hole, and then I feel something moving in the ceiling there, with eyes locked, on that damn light, a string in my left hand, I pull it down!

In darkness, a dream which might be true. I can see lightning paint spider webs across the sky.
I ran outside...
