Lyrics
Help yourself If you know why you came Cause if you need help she says There's something I've got saved This is not what you wanted These candy-coated fakes This is not what you wanted This is pain, this is pain Anacin, we're stumbling again Anacin, and it's the story of a hundred aisles (aisles) Walk away from simple on a tray Cause if you need help she says These fancy pills don't rate This is not what you wanted A miracle today This is not what you wanted This is pain, this is pain Anacin, we're stumbling again Anacin, and it's the story of a hundred aisles Time is not for sale today And time seems so far away And time is not for sale today You need more than this Depressed come here, try this Anacin, we're stumbling again Anacin, and it's the story of a hundred aisles Anacin, we're stumbling again Anacin, and it's the story of a hundred aisles Anacin

Song Notes
Arnold Lanni, Canadian Music, April 1997:
When the guys came off the road, that was one of the first songs they played. It could have been on the Naveed record. So when Mike played it on guitar, I said that sounds like I've heard it before, why don't I take Raine's voice, double it, put one out of phase, introduce the one in phase as we go up -- that's why when you hear his voice at the beginning, it sounds really small and brittle.


Jeremy Taggart, Modern Drummer, Feb. 1998:
Three months after you record you start to hear flaws. Hopefully, you grow and you get better. Everything we do is a snippet of the best we had at the time we did it. We could live with it. We look at every part as a song. If you take away everything but the drums, hopefully that drum part will be catchy. For example, "The Story of a Hundred Aisles" has a Keith Moon influence. No one told me, "Don't do that; you're over-playing." There are sections of just complete chaos.
