Summary

This quote describes the unstoppable intensity of a person's thoughts and emotions. The metaphor of "supernovae exploding" symbolizes the chaotic and overwhelming nature of the individual's internal experiences. Despite their best efforts, they cannot control or quiet the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that consume them. The phrase "endless chain of intra cranial firecrackers" adds to the vivid portrayal of an ongoing explosion of sensations inside their mind, which implies the person's inability to find peace or escape from their turbulent thoughts.
