Annotations for Space Dementia

Lyric: [Instrumental Outro]
Annotation:
Speaking of this relationship and the song, the outro cross fades into  Hyper Music, and (thankfully for the narrator) the relationship ends in that song. I guess Origin Of Symmetry’s tracks 3 and 4 (maybe 5) are “Love and Chaos” or something like that. Matt Bellamy (Pianist, Vocalist, Guitarist and Frontman) has stated that the outro is how it is due to the fact Space Dementia was originally going to be the closer on Origin of Symmetry

Lyric: Space dementia in your eyes and
Annotation:
He is impaired with his obsession of this person and is unable to go back to his normal self. He knows it’ll be hurtful to go back to this person but his obsession has made him masochistic about this pain.

Lyric: I’d cut your name in my heart
 We’ll destroy this world for you
Annotation:
Despite everything that is happening to Matt in this relationship, he still wants to devote everything to her going so far as to hurt himself or people around them if she wants him to.

Lyric: You make us wanna die
Annotation:
The relationship between Matt and this girl is so toxic that they both are tempted to kill themselves because of each other.

Lyric: I love all the dirty tricks
 And twisted games you play on me, ooh
Annotation:
He is treated so poorly by the girl this song is about, but he still has feelings for her, for reasons he can’t quite explain. She treats him like shit, but he keeps coming back for more thinking maybe it will work out this time.

Lyric: I know you want me to feel your pain, ooh
Annotation:
The girl’s own self-hatred fuels her desire to inflict Matt with all the “dirty tricks and twisted games” in order to bring him down to her level

Lyric: Peace will arise
 And tear us apart
 And make us meaningless again
Annotation:
They can try and bury their mutual feelings of obsession and loathing, but whatever emotional truces they might make will only be broken over and over again, until the relationship loses all meaning

Lyric: H8 is the one for me
 It gives me all I need
 And helps me coexist
 With the chill, ooh
Annotation:
“H8” refers to the Hitachi H8/3048F, which is a small microcomputer that is often used in electronics and robotics control. What Matt is saying that being in this relationship is like having a computer chip implanted in his brain, controlling his every thought and emotion

Lyric: You make me sick
 Because I adore you so
Annotation:
Matt isn’t exaggerating here –  being in love  can actually make you physically ill. On another level, the sickness is more of a “self-loathing” thing, because Matt knows he shouldn’t be anywhere  near this person and yet he can’t remove them from his heart and head
