About This Track
According to the Oblivion Songfacts, after appearing at the 2007 Video Music Awards, frontman Brent Hinds (guitars/vocals) got involved in a brawl, which resulted in him being hospitalized with a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. He told MTV News that when he returned home, the songs he began churning out reflected the spiraling dizziness he felt in his brain.
The singer explained: “The music I was diving into was more of a laid-back feel, because of the state I was in — the recovery state, in your pajamas, just taking it super easy. I had extreme vertigo… my equilibrium was totally messed up. For nine months, I was dizzy… I kind of got used to it after a while, and I didn’t mind that, but after a while, I told Brann (Dailor, drums), I was like, ‘Man, I’m kind of getting tired of feeling euphoric.’”
Inspired, he took those experiences and worked them into a story about an out of body experience, which became Crack The Skye. Hinds told MTV News with a laugh: “We’re not really in this record. I mean, not as much as in previous albums. But, I can look at some of the lyrics, like, ‘I flew beyond the sun before it was time,’ I look at that lyric as being about the VMA night, you know? Like I went beyond the sun before it was time. I took it too far, and they were trying to pull me back in.”

Not perfect. It doesn't hit me as hard as other songs in terms of the instrumentation, however vocally they are top notch in this song.
