r/coheed Song Of The Day #1: Time Consumer

I think a good way to keep things active and fun for people here is a song of the day, where we can discuss anything and everything about that particular song of the day. So, for the first song of the day, I'd like to nominate Time Consumer! What better way to start than with the first song many of us ever heard grace our CD players?

Personally, I'm not as crazy about Time Consumer as others. It's a great song, don't get me wrong, but it's not a top ten favorite for me as it is for others. The drum intro is incredible though, as are the verses and the chorus. What a way to start their first album.

The Fiction-Mom and Dad(Coheed and Cambria) have had a virus installed in them upon birth(don't worry about why unless you really want to get deep into this story). This also happened to Coheed's brother Jesse(Inferno). Each possess a special power that can be unlocked as part of a potential future plan(of which they are unaware of).

The evil red army dude(Mayo Deftinwolf) meets up with Coheed and tells him that his children have a mutation of the virus that can destroy the energy force that holds the solar system together(heaven's fence). As a precaution, Coheed must kill all of his children. The youngest 2(Maria and Mathew) are at home. They poison them. Other songs deal with what happens to their daughter and their son Claudio.

The Real- I gather that this is about a few things in Claudio's life. I assume, since our favorite guy has some social interaction issues, it's mostly about his struggles and he's finding power within himself. r/getmotivated.

The Part- Gotta be the drum intro! No Coheed fan will ever forget that. It's been reprised a number of times, too.
