I normally have something to say; a sentence or a sequence of sentences to convey my current state of mind. That would do nicely. Yet how can I transcribe something like this? How does a great, unimaginable distance appear in words? Would it be recognized, understood, or felt

You could explain why, if you were so inclined. Radiohead's "Here Come the Ugly Old Apocalypse!!" theme has called me back to them time and time again, for a decade and a half or so. It may be the single most consistent thing about their music.

The last song I finished writing is called The Endtimes. Almost all my solo shit has apocalyptic undertones; and, it seems to be a running theme among my like-minded peers: something big and dark is brewing on the horizon.

It's all in how you see it through, all the way to the bitter end.
The song has always been there, humming in the periphery; the song is almost over; the song will never end.

Last year and the year before was a time of strange apocalyptic hallucinations and feelings for me, henceforth I have intuitively sought out things of such nature. Some influential instances of note include a mushroom trip at a park where I watched schools of fish desperately leaping into the air, flock upon flock of birds flying in one direction as if fleeing a disaster, and the low rumble of a nearby freeway that I interpreted as an earthquake; a night where I was sleeping on a beach in Oregon with my girlfriend at the time and I kept thinking that the sound of the waves was growing in volume, ultimately building up to a cataclysmic tidal wave; and a dream in which I was stuck in heavy traffic trying to escape some type of rapture behind me. I don't know why I was so obsessed with it at the time. Perhaps the current state of affairs had done a number on my subconscious and had caused my imagination to understandably assume the worst in any situation. Has the same ever happened to you?
