Discover the story of the song > Barely Listening – Pilot Speed

The protagonist is on a phone call with his partner, who is daydreaming about happier times and feeling nostalgic. She prays for strength and wonders if her faith is the reason for their struggles. The protagonist realizes that his partner is not really listening to him and feels ignored. He describes a moment where she stands in the doorway with a candle and a gun, and he knows that the day has been difficult for her. He reflects on the fact that faith won't give her a reason for their struggles, it just avoids the reality. The protagonist waits for her to listen, but realizes it's not worth waiting anymore. He concludes that love and life cannot be controlled or shaped and that chaos can destroy any fate or plan.
