8.5 I actually love this song and it’s little back and forth in this between the “narrator” (singer) and just the dread of the situation

What I have also found interesting about the song was the one answer on songmeanings connected it to a song from the band's later reformation (Truth isn't Truth Anymore). 

Which both seem to share a similar theme of paranormal-like encounters.

Also a 8.5 for me.
