Discover the story of the song > Exquisite Tension – you’ll never get to heaven

The lyrics describe a feeling of being stuck in a familiar routine, symbolized by being tightly bound and tethered. The protagonist is aware of how empty and incomplete this life is, yet feels a sense of comfort in its familiarity. They urge themselves not to fall asleep and accept this life as obsolete, but to keep clapping their hands until they can find a way to break free and escape.
