Lyrics referring to it?
Where do you constantly vaguely read about it if they aren't talking about it?
I have searched for hours on the internet for stuff about tinnitus, eventually you often come up with lists of famous people who got T.
They are always mentioned, sometimes with 'staring at the sun' as well.
But I think one site copies the info from another one and so it goes on...it's always the mentioning...and staring at the sun, but nothing more. So maybe someone made it up. Or someone thinks staring at the sun is about it. But then it is stange that they mention Edge as well.
