[edit] War Inside My Head

I disagree that this song is about Desert Storm. I believe it is about Vietnam. The lyrics say a "years and years of bloodshed and warfare": Desert Storm only lasted from Aug. '90 to Feb '91, Vietnam lasted around 16 years. Also, "napalm showers," were not a part of Desert Storm, but once again, Vietnam. Finally, I do not believe the six months of Desert Storm caused "permanent psychotic hell" as the song speaks, and most people know of stories of Vietnam veterans who suffer from mental torment from the war.

I agree with that, and I believe most DT fans do too. The change from Vietnam to Desert Storm was made by an IP user, so unless that user steps up, identifies himself and explains his opinion, I believe we should change it back to Vietnam. Hetcenus 19:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Have to concur. PTSD was really brought to light with the Vietnam generation anyway. That is likely to what the song is refering. Feel free to change it. InnocuousFox 21:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Autism or Aspergers?

I believe that Degree 5 actually refers to Aspergers and not Autism. The line "he learned to walk and talk on time" shows there was no delay in speech development. This is one of the key differences between the two as stated on the Asperger's page:

"Asperger syndrome is not differentiated from other autistic spectrum disorders by a minority of clinicians and instead they refer to it as high functioning autism (HFA) [1] in that early development is normal and there is no language delay and thus the symptoms differ only in degree from classic autism."

I move that we either change the "diagnosis" on the page to reflect this or add a reference to Asperger's parenthetically.

[edit] Goodnight Kiss

From hearing the laughter and screams in this section, it sounds more like the person it's about is having a recurring nightmare. That's sort of the "vibe" I get whenever that section comes on.

[edit] Song Analysis

I have slightly modified the "Song Analysis" section; rather than just describing each Degree, to make it like Octavarium and A Change of Seasons, describing each Section (I through VIIIb), as Section I "Overture" requires some information as well. Anyone who thinks otherwise, let me know.
