Tornado Alley (PROG)

[newmedman]

It's kind of like my anthem. No heroin, never touched it, but alcohol. I jam that tune on replay whenever I get tempted. It keeps me in check

while others claim that it describes the difficult process of finding a reason to live in spite of depression and pain and does not have much to do with the storyline of The Downward Spiral

I agree with the above interpretation... addiction is not a easy thing my 'sweetest' friend. I have to play it from time to time to remind others that we can overcome our emotional problems whatever they might be and be aware of our own selves. I'm my own greatest critic but it also helps me to shed any others that might come at me for 'my empire of dirt'.

I will let them down, I will make them hurt. Conix is playing me like a fiddle in her mind these days so it will suck for her when my strings break.
