[edit] Musical structure

The song begins with a repeated note played by guitar, until (0:13), when a soft, riff is played. At (0:38), more guitars and a drumbeat enter, and an alternate mloedy is played. At (1:01), the main melody is played again then at (1:25), the drumbeat and guitars get steadily heavier and faster, until at (1:47), a wall of distorted guitar noise explodes. This continues to (2:19), when the main riff is again played, until (2:40), when the guitar fades into silence.
