For the first two weeks or so I had the Guts theme from Berserk in the timeline as a placeholder to help me feel the mood. I didn't want to rip of that glorious track so the theme doesn't resemble it beyond being a slow piano+string track except for one very special part near the end, I'm sure you'll know it when you hear it if you are familiar with Guts' Theme.
My idea for the credits track was to make something like what you might hear during the end credits of an old anime. I've been watching the original Legend of the Galactic Heroes recently while I exercise (it's an awesome show) and there is a song used in the credits of the later episodes which is wonderfully moody, again it's not at all like what I made but it's what started me off. An aspect of anime soundtracks I noticed is that they will kind of refer to events in the show but not in a specific way. The lyrics are attempts to metaphorically describe being slowly worn down by reading e-mails, points of lights being electrons, little fish being spammers, constant pressure referring to the never ending trickle of them coming my way.
