Hate to bust any bubbles but that's the facts jack. This is not a song about spies, real hit men etc. Soon you will come to know When the bullet hits the bone: he will soon enough get his next fix and if it is any good. Meaning he is far away from his usual connections and does not know where to go or who to call for more drugs. Where am I to go now that my Beacon has been moved, Now that I have gone to far. Hitting the bone meaning when he injects. The bullet being the needle with drugs in it. When the Bullet hits the Bone, refers to when he inject his drugs. The hit man is his drug dealer, his connection. Yeah there's a storm on the loose sirens in my head, Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone, This is a madhouse.įeels like being cloned he is going craze because he can not reach his connection for another fix, it feels like there is two of him "Being Cloned". He can not decode: he can not figure out what to do. He is trying to reach his connection on the phone, and he can not reach them and because he knows damn well he has been cheated, his last fix was no good. I'm wrapped up in silence all circuits are dead. Yeah there's a storm on the loose sirens in my head, Maybe my connection is tired of taken chances, He is Waiting the gun is still warm: he just shot up and is waiting for his high to kick in. The song has hidden drug meanings like most songs of I's time. It gets worse, not only are they leaving him blowing in the wind, now they've also decided to knock him off, when the hit man shows up, the spy knows he's getting a raw deal. He's deep in a foreign country and can't make a run by himself, he needs help (this far from the border line). He obviously can't sleep and all the decisions he's made to get him here are causing anxiety (night weighs heavy on his guilty mind). He can't make any connection with his normal contacts and wants to know why he's been abandoned. He feels double crossed by his messenger (handler) and he's now alone. Spiraling down to nowhere, self explanatory. Next there's foreshadowing of his impending doom, soon he will come to know when the bullet hits the bone. He's moved into the Twilight Zone and the beacon he needs to return to reality has been moved, he can't find his way out. Think of funhouse type wavy mirrors and screams, also a clone of him watching his story play out. When he realizes he's been hung out to dry, he has a surreal experience which causes him to have a sort of out of body experience, like he's watching himself from the 3rd person. They've changed the code they're using, so the coded messages he does receive he can't decode and has no idea what's happening. Because they've decided to drop him, nobody is making communication and he's wrapped in silence. But, his handler (connection) has decided to burn him and they don't plan to help, they're tired of taking chances. He's now holed up in a hotel room and looking to be extracted. The main character is a spy, his cover has been blown and he's been in a shootout. Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind My beacon's been moved under moon and star I'm wrapped up in silence all circuits are dead Yeah there's a storm on the loose sirens in my head Maybe my connection is tired of taken chances I'm sitting here waitin' the gun still warm Recording/Editing: Adobe Audition 3.That eternal fate has turned it's back on him Soundcard: ESI Cleaning: VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning MachineĪrtwork Scans: Brother MFC-6490CW Professional Series Scanner Tube: Tung-Sol 12AX7ECC803-S Gold Electron Tube Phono Pre-amp: Bellari VP130 Tube Phono Preamp While the original album version runs 7:55 this US 7″ promo contains two unique edits of “TWilight Zone”.
