The Opening Signal is about the first moment you realize you've lost touch with who you really are. But that realization doesn't hit you all at once. It comes through broken and distorted, like a message you can barely make out through static. You see glimpses of your real self but the picture keeps flickering. You hear something important but the words are underwater. The whole song is about trying to tune into a signal from a version of yourself you've lost contact with, unsure if what's coming through is a warning or a cry for help. By the end, the signal finally comes through clearly, and the rest of the album (coming soon) is what happens when you can no longer ignore it.more
