Say Nothing starts off with a very eastern guitar riff that is supported by an off-beat stressed tribal drum line. It is the first song after Vagrant Story that includes lyrics. Of course the lyrics for my songs, just as the way I describe them here, can often be misinterpreted. I blame myself for this since I am inadequately versed when it comes to artistic expression in English. As abstract as this song might be, the same conventional song writing used on most of the Logos tracks was used when I came up with the melody and counter harmony structure of this song.

The title and lyrics suggest a very isolationist viewpoint that makes it sound like I am eager to have no involvement with society or whoever it is I am talking to. This is partly true, this song does portray my hatred of the "in" crowd, not because I covet what they have, but moreso the self hatred from the realization that it is not "me" to begin with and not worth the effort to be a part of it. The conflict arises, then, with myself - not with the outside world. The title, Say Nothing, aptly (in my mind) describes the conundrum I face of being still and quiet, but ever conscious of my inability to identify with something, and its conflict with another aspect of me that wishes it could identify with this something.

More simply, I am at odds with who I have become: this person who wants to open up to others, but can't from the many years I was alone and different. Whether it is the outlandish focus of my youth on occult philosophy and eastern religion that has driven me away or an over reacting self-conscience - I am to this day feeling the vibrations that imitate emotional pain when I  actually try and even when I don't. It is a losing battle from which I can't speak or win a case against my Self. That is Say Nothing in a nutshell.
