I like both of these about the same, and they're very similar songs, actually. It's a good pairing. I think I'll go with Can't Keep so I can say Betterman was beaten by the best. Both very good songs, though.

slow burners, moody, atmospheric, subdued despite the underlying intensity. I mean Insignificance is obviously a heavier song, but even there it spends most of its run time throttling itself at least a little bit

thematically they are both about wanting to find ways to escape the limitations of where you are

Insignificance, but that's no knock on Can't Keep. I can kind of see stip's point in comparing the songs, in that the atmosphere they evoke has some similarities. Can't Keep's arrangement feels far murkier, though.
