I've always been a bigger fan of the music rather than lyrics(I've been a drummer for a long ass time and I guess I kinda notice a major focus on lyrics here, rather than the music itself) , and with this song , I've always thought that they did an extremely good job of pacing their music with their lyrical content. A steady beat and steady guitar riff , as well as the bass rythm around 2:33 have always really struck me as trying to put you into the attitude of understanding maynards lyrics, which I believe to be a progessivley louder and steady beat, kind of like its a feeling trying to barge out of some kind of shell. I guess that ties into the interpretation of people's sensitivity being numbed, but eh, thats basically why I agree with it.
