| Shinedown – 45 Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I believe the song is about making decisions in your life, and people judging you for them without understanding why you made them. When he says, "and I'm starin' down the barrel of a 45," could very well be refferring to the human finger, in the shape of a gun with the palm pointed down. In moments of rage, people often point, condemn, and yell in this manner. "sweating through the ashes of another life," is refers to the self-reflection one endures when being condemned, in reflecting on all the other things they could have done to reach another outcome. | |

I wonder if by "feeding the wolves" the band is referring to the Native American legend, of the grandfather who tells his son about two wolves that are battling within the heart of every man (I checked online and you can goggle the story). The annotated version is basically one wolf contains all the bad qualities within us, and the other all the good. "The one who wins", the grandfather tells his grandson, "is the one you decide to feed." This song I believe is about how as we grow older, and through much of our lives society slowly kills the optimist, the idealist, the dreamer in most people and forces, in essence forces people to feed the wolf that feeds of the negative energy in us. When for example he says “suffocate integrity till I’m not breathing” probably points to the fact that we often feel that something is missing, and upon closer inspection it is sometimes realized that it the part of us we let people, and society suffocate. In the end we “never even know what for.” For some people however, they succumb so much to this pressure that by constant repetition the cynic becomes the guiding force from the shadows of the “subconscious”. Phrase: "Feed them, fucking starve them, keep begging a little more I'm not gonna be your whore Load it, cock it, pull it, refuse to be ignored I'm not gonna fight you war All the distractions kill the compassion Suddenly, fame has lost its attraction" Describes the dilemma that, in order to get the things in life that society holds in esteem, we are often expected to embrace cynicism and "suffocate integrity." The mechanisms by which we are enticed by the world are prestige, fame, success, sex, etc. and we are told that if we do what they want then we will get these things and be the envy of others. This phrase Is the singer’s rebellion to what is demanded of us by society. When he sees all that he will be giving up, “fame has lost its attraction,” to succumb would be to become their “whore.” |

| Iron Maiden – The Unbeliever Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| its not necessarily religion I say but rather when we fool ourselves by trying to tell ourselves that we are something that we are not and try to be something we are not. When we look inside and examine our lives and diagnose the root cause of our actions (fakeness) sometimes we are not ready to handle what we find deep inside our souls. but in the words of Socrates, "the unexamined life is not worth living" | |

| Metallica – St. Anger Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I think more or less this song is about your anger being a the thing that kills you. When you are angry at someone or something you are so pissed that you don't give a fuck as to what happens, even if you are destroying that relationship or your life. The anger can go both ways, it can be directed at both someone else or yourself. Your anger is the Noose, and in the moment of anger with pride you wear it because you want everyone to know that you are angry; but you don't realize that you are only going to indulge in self destructive behavior in your anger. | |
