Part of what makes The Money Store one of my favorite releases from The Grips is the fact that every time I revisit it, a new song clicks with me. It's just a song I passed over during my previous listen and then I'm like, 'How did I miss this?' Right now it's this song. Those grimy growling baselines and eerie melody are haunting. Stay NOIDED lads...

These guys are fucking amazing. Lyrical content is clever and the musical composition is pretty ingenious. They either reference Charles Ives, American songwriter and modernist classical composer, or they had the same idea as him. If you spell the repetitious synthesizer melody out in musical notation it spells cage. Pretty fucking clever. One of them more than likely new about Ives because he has a song by the same name in which he does the same exact thing.

This is how I interpret this song. Rides mind feels like a cage. In a state of extreme paranoia, And it may have something do with the police incident from I've seem footage. Ride screaming "I HAD TO GET HIM" maybe out of the paranoia or the fear of him killing him first. As seen in system blower "YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING? KILL IT OR DIE!" i could be completely wrong though.

[@jayx1615]

@narmaK yeah, fantano was right. After enough listens to this album it starts to reveal its secrets
