This is the equivalent of a sonic wasteland, apocalyptic, lonely, hopeless... The end has came, everything is collapsing. Distant guitar weeps come out of the darkness accompanied by Beth's haunting vocals, singing the most bleak and desperate words that she ever wrote. The lyrics are simple but terrifying, one of the most accurate depictions of mental exhaustion that I ever seen in a song. But, the parts when the drums come forward to push the song in a more intensive pattern, together to abrasive smashing guitar strings, accompanied by Beth dramatically exclaiming repeatedly "I'm always so unsure!", are absolutely stunning. The end in special, where Beth voice becomes even more desperate, together to even more brutal guitar noise accompanied by industrial sounds, evokes an overwhelming anxiety and despair. And then, everything fades to a heavily distorted guitar drone, that repeat itself for one entire minute, like a horn of the apocalypse. A majestic, disturbing and perfect ending.

Oh my god... this song is a masterpiece. A very dark sounding masterpiece. It's very rare that songs feel this emotional.

The ending sounds like trying to get up several times and failing each time because of intense exhaustment.

Oh, i forgot to talk about the echoing sound at the end, from 4:09 to 4:40, between each verse. It sounds like some kind of cry for help, and it goes so well with Beth's voice because she's becoming more powerful at this moment, more convinced and angry, just like she was desperately steamrolling again on that person crying for help. There's some kind of battle in that special part of the song. This sounds like she was fighting with herself.

This song is one of the heaviest i've ever heard. Everytime the chorus comes, i feel so oppressed. The drums on this song trample on me like a steamroller. I feel like i'm being strangled and suffocating. Every sound is so bleak, desperate, dark. No, not dark — BLACK, because dark sounds too light to qualify this song. Yes, everytime i hear this song, in my head, i don't picture just a dark mood, i picture TOTAL BLACKNESS. Absolutely no light, not any shadow, just a complete heavy steamrolling black. Even Beth's voice is like a steamroller. When i hear her singing on this song I picture someone stuck on the ground trying to get up, failing everytime. You know, just like that scene from Melancholia's prologue where Justine is trying to walk but there is something that blocks her legs. In Threads, each sound is a hit made to put you to the ground, without allowing you to get up. This is a masterpiece.

I love how this one fades out, makes it really wholesome compared to how other tracks end abruptly (in what I listen to anyways)
