The issue with music is that when it plays as a background inside your head, it becomes insidious. Of all the senses, we rely on sight the most, but the sound of pain is something that always lies right beneath the surface. We subconsciously or even consciously attach certain songs to certain emotions or people. We create a lifetime of these connections to music.
Now I know why I've been listening to music that has no lyrics for the past few years. When you hear lyrics that strike a cord, you hear that pain all over again. Seeing is painful, but hearing wounds.
