why is no one taling about "labyrinth" being a literal description of the POV of a WTC worker trying to get out of the building?
alright, so i just saw a post about it being a bout eight POVs of the 9/11 tragedy, and labyrinth is an exact description of what i think it would be like to be in the WTC during 9/11. notice the first vers in the song " Just bumped my head and my face turns purple
Running through hurdles, running in circles
Trying to escape from this thing that I fear
Everything seems clear like the end is near
In the rear, I can see the beast getting close
Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke
The smoke reeks of failure, I don't want to fail
But all the stairwells lead straight to hell
So I'm jumping trap doors in the floor 'fore they floor me
Focus on the love and the light right before me
Walls keep spinning and my path keeps turning
Patience thinning and my calves keep burning
Hotter than a furnace, suddenly I'm learning
Maybe I finally reached the point of no return and
East is North and West is South
I feel like I'ma never get out
I'm trapped "
just bumped my head and my face turns purple might correlate to rubble falling on their head
Running through hurdles, running in circles
Trying to escape from this thing that I fear
Everything seems clear like the end is near
In the rear, I can see the beast getting close
Surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke its him running around looking for a place to escape, and finally realising hes going to die. in the rear i can see the beast getting close might mean that he sees the second plane aproaching. surrounded by ghosts in a cloud of smoke might mean that hes surrounded by the dead while everything is smoking. just look at the lyrics! its all there.
