Discover the story of the song > Critical Mass – Aerosmith

In these lyrics, the protagonist is being chased by some people who want something from him. He tries to hide under his bed, but they find him. The leader, who is a woman, pins him against the wall and threatens him. She can read his thoughts, but she never understands his true feelings. The protagonist tries to distract himself by talking about art, but she doesn't listen. He feels trapped and overwhelmed. Suddenly, there is a knocking on the door, and more people are there. They all drink together and break a glass to celebrate. The protagonist feels like he is being taken away and losing track of time.
