Aftermath

Given the title in a response to the events of September 11, 2001. The band's very personal dedication and remembrance of those events. The struggle to come to terms with the loss of innocence is symbolized in many of the song's elements, such as its shock-metal guitar bursts, its ascending and descending spiral harmonic modulations underpinning a frantic percussive middle section, and chorus with fleeting ghost-notes and culminating in an emotional guitar solo crying for hope.
