Got a feel of Riot Lights in this. There is even a bit of Sixx A.M. in there at "this is going to hurt", only because I listened to the album a lot at the time, along with Tokio Hotel.
I like the usage of countdown in this one. There is some kind of expectation, mixed with a little dread. It is also very visual, starting off in flashes of colour and quite a lot of red, then it just oozing away in the end to black.
This is an early entry. It is different in that the last line does not reflect the first. In fact, Dead Strobe was the original title. I never had a thing for parties or live concerts. Combining monstrously loud music with seizurously flashing lights makes a nightmarish headache.
