Fantastic song on a fantastic album. This is just my interpretation, but I feel like the song is about a girl who is going through her years in superficial friendships without actually feeling what it is to have a real bond with another human being. These superficial friendships are filled with petty conflicts which she discusses with her friends, who also get too involved in her drama, trying to 'mediate'. These are not really much of friends, but they all act behave in a similar manner to the subject girl. When she tries to have a meaningful relationship with a human being, she looks for someone lonely, who surely will not pass up the chance to have a friend. This backfires, as she still cannot actually share herself with the person because they aren't really friends based on anything concrete. The lonely person is just happy to have someone to call a friend, while the subject girl is not genuinely satisfied. The girl cannot make friends for the right reasons. All throughout this song, she can't find anyone who actually cares about her, so she feels that 'nothing outside will care enough', leaving herself to care about herself. She can't figure it out, though. She keeps trying to do the same thing, hoping it will succeed in making her actual friends. This won't ever work, though, so she tries to find love. However, even this is superficial and fake, as she hasn't figured out how to actually relate to another human being on a deep level. When she can't get things right and keeps getting left behind by guys she tries to love, she can't see why none of them see her as good enough. In reality, she needs to see herself for whom she really is and show that to people. They can't just see it. She can't just show herself, because it makes her seem weak and exposes her to the trivial drama she believes will continue with everyone, when in reality, it shouldn't if she finds real friends. She tries to pretend she is not affected by human needs, hence the "forget you're born" part. |

| I can't figure out what's said in the chorus. It sounds like "On my way" and then something after that. | |

| Blue October seems to have some very good instrumentals and... I want to say ambience. I only have two songs, but they're both pretty good. | |

Something I've noticed that seems very creative is the sound they make at one point in the song; let me try to describe where it is. After the first "Assassin is born," Matt goes into a "Woaahhhhh" part, and then they build up the tension until finally you hear a "CHING!!" sound, almost like two blades colliding. Now, this is just my personal interpretation, but to me that symbolizes the eventual climax in the conflict between both parties: the assassin striking, or the beginning of violence. Almost as cool is the fact that they had a few smaller, similar sound effects in the background after that one climactic strike, perhaps symbolizing the call to action working and others taking part in the revolution. I then believe the rest of the song has to do with what the revolutionary(s) are thinking as they continue their fight; the ideas drilled into their mind so that they only focus on those thoughts. Unfortunately, my Windows Media Player counts down the time in the song instead of counting up, so the only thing I can tell you as far as an exact time is that it happened when it said there was 1:24 left. I hope the description helps, though. ^_^ |
