...Rough Gem.” The first two verses employ the metaphor of diamond mining to illustrate the the dogged pursuit of a dream. Aptly named singer Diamond assumes the voice of that fantasy, suggesting that “you can scoop out my brain, shape it into an ear and then tell me your pain.” However, the staccato snare drum and terse eighth-note basslines give the impression that something is awry.

When taking her son to see an ear, nose and throat specialist for recurrent ear infections, she innocently asked the doctor why she could hear her heart beating when she went to bed. He thought she might have some sinus problems and prescribed some antibiotics and a nasal spray.
