Stop trying to analyze and dig deep down inside
Sometimes what I'm saying isn't what I'm trying to hide
Sometimes I just say the things I feel
Or nonsensical junk about the unreal

Sure the "chocolate syrup" has a meaning
But that doesn't make everything mean something
My allusions are oft false
To delve deep into a shallow pool
Is to plan for failure
There will be pain for us both if you keep it up
I once said that "depression is an empty bottle of chocolate syrup" (there's a story behind that, message if you really would like to know) and so when chocolate syrup appears in my writing it is usually an allusion to depression, just as Mr. Steele is a razor blade and Mr. Wall is myself (my subconscious, rather) and the Woman in Red, though a Matrix reference, is a guardian angel of sorts.
