I was thinking that, in the second play-through, the first sixteen measures (in Jovette's remix, the lyrics are, "You can't believe everything you hear/ And you cannot see everything that's near," and so on) quiet down; maybe it's just the lead guitar, or the lead and the drums. Then in the last sixteen or so measures, it ramps back up.
I'm not great with music; you can probably tell. ( ._.')
