Song meaning
German Stranger Than Fiction promo CD booket: "A song about dead people. Originally inspired by the tragedy in Bosnia; it evolved into a general statement about our history of turning our backs on those who suffer, and the haunting guilt that we all are left with."[1]
Greg: "(...) that song was actually going to be written about the problems in Bosnia, but it evolved into a much broader topic. lt's really a song about dead people and innocent deaths that have occurred because of our negligence. The whole metaphor of "tiny voices" is one of conscience. The song talks about the actual voices of the dead people who we've overlooked, coming and haunting us in our sleep."[2]
