about this song

“Washer”, the album’s longest track, features a “barely audible” intro with guitar and cymbals before the rest of the band comes in. The song builds tension until the final verse, which features loud distortion, and is followed by a lengthy outro. The track could be interpreted to be about a break-up, but is more likely a deep and somber suicide note, as lines such as ‘Embracing thoughts of tonight’s dreamless sleep’ seem to be directly referencing death; it can be referred to as the “eternal dreamless sleep”.
