about

It began with Russia and Japan fighting for control of the country in 1904. Japan used its victory to annex Korea in 1910, having already installed a puppet leader. Emperor Sunjong was the last 'united' Korean leader and the last emperor in a dynasty stretching back 500 years.
By the time he died in 1926, the Japanese were completely in control and attempting to undermine Korea's unique cultural identity. The Korean language and customs were suppressed and at one point Tokyo even tried to enforce a law stating that all second names should be Japanese. That and other inequities left an anti-Japanese feeling among Koreans which lasts to this day.
When the Japanese empire was dismantled at the end of World War Two, Korea fell victim to the Cold War. It was divided into two spheres of influence along the 38th parallel. The Americans controlled south of the line - the Russians installed a communist regime in the north, later ceding influence to China.
In 1950 the North launched a surprise attack across the 38th parallel and quickly took most of the South. The United Nations then backed what it called a "police action" to repulse the advance and the Korean War, which would last for three years, had begun.
Most troops on the UN side were American, but 90,000 British soldiers were involved in fighting the Chinese Red Army and more than 1,000 were killed, many of them conscripts. By the time an armistice was signed in July 1953, 2.5 million people had died. The line of the division remained where it had started - at the 38th parallel.
After the war, South Korea's economy prospered under a series of capitalist dictatorships and the country eventually became a democracy. North Korea remains an economic basket case and a police state which has been ruled by the same family for three generations. First came Kim Il-Sung, then his son Kim Jong-Il, and now the grandson Kim Jong-Un. The legacy of that dark century has left South Korea's security guaranteed by an American defense treaty, and North Korea tied to a military pact with China in the event of it being attacked.
The battle between two sides of the same country leads my thoughts to a battle of two sides of the same mind. The fracture is referring to the aftermath of that battle and how difficult every battle after that becomes harder.

lyrics

This can only end one way
The collapse and suffering within the strain
The smell of decay, a sign of the pain

This will be the end of me
There is no solace in this agony
A quiet Reprieve, just leave it be

So much noise in my head
Like a freight train crashing
Violent stabbing migraine
The voices tell me I'm not ok

With every breathe I take
The fire burns away
The cellophane dark and stained
Smothering the pain
Living in a hole
Drowning in the fold
This feeling is leveling
The fracture taking hold

I... have.. pushed myself to bleeding
My mind is tearing itself apart
Have... You... Felt the dagger Spiral
And solder thought to the Light and the Dark

I can't seem to just hold on
I have been told that it's darkest before dawn
Battered and drawn, all hope is gone

Let this be a painful dream
Don't let this struggle be reality
There is no dream, this is in me
