Discover the story of the song > The Grand Disconnect – Alphabet Holds Hostage

The protagonist is recalling a past event where their partner swerved out of the way to avoid something, but they don't remember much else about it. They feel overwhelmed and can't handle the weight of the situation. The protagonist dissociates as cars drive by, trying to escape their thoughts. They want to rest and find peace, but they feel like they're on the verge of death. The protagonist wonders if their partner will comfort them until they break, and they cry tears that feel like metal and settle with heat. They know that they won't be able to withstand another difficult situation and fear that they won't last. The protagonist also remembers looking at their partner's freckles and how beautiful they looked in the sun. They believe that they'll spend the rest of their life with their partner someday.
