I feel the same. Normally, I'd agree with others' opinion about the instrumental going for too long (and I actually did at first) but after listening to the song a few times, the instrumentals stopped feeling excessive and rather began feeling quite thrilling and suspenseful, and with the implications of pain and darkness that the lyrics give to the song, "Terminal" ends up like a wonderful story told in sounds and a few sentences.
"Terminal" is one of those songs that prove to me that music is a media much more similar to movies and books than we think; each song tells a story even if some may be very superficial and fleeting, and "Terminal"'s story happens to feel very deep and penetrating to me. But I can understand that, as with all types of media, this story is not for everyone, nor does everyone necessarily think the music conveys any kind of proper story at all to them. But that's the beautiful versatility of art, I guess.
