Sounds Like: So there's this guy right? He's searching for something, in the desert... not water, you'd assume it'd be water right, because he's in the desert searching, but this is a fairly resourcefull guy. He's got water, and lots of it... he came well prepared for his journey.And so he's searching for something out there, and in all the wandering he comes across a small enclave of rocks. Upon crouching down to look under these rocks he's bitten by a rattle snake, and as the pain and toxins fill up his body things become a bit more precise... a bit.. more real, than they ever were.And the thing he notices more than anything, in this moment, is the rattle of the snake.. reverberating across the desert... it's sound traveling a split second faster than his heart can pump new blood, and unfortunately for him fresh poison, through his veins with every pulse of that fine muscle... and he focuses on this sound, the throbbing sound of his own heart killing him.... do you understand what he's hearing? Hearing his mortality??Well, our music is nothing like that.
