Is this allegorical or is the hospital and concept meant to be based in reality? I asked me mum she didn't have a fuckin clue.

Allegorical. The "cancer" is symbolic of an emotionally abusive relationship the singer was in. The lyrics of Two and Epilogue pretty much sum up the story.

I think that its based on a very real relationship Silberman had with someone

And allegorically he uses the patient/hospice worker relationship to convey the message

Dunno if that's right or I'm just spouting shite though!

"The "cancer" is symbolic of an emotionally abusive relationship the singer was in."

Phero this is one of me all time faves bro. It hit unbelievably hard when it came out and it still hits me for six every time I listen.

Avon did you know about the precursor song to this they released on one of their EPs?

Burst Apart is a very enjoyable record (hard 3.5 for me) that lacks the immense emotional power of this. Well written, catchy songs, but the feels this brings > life
