| P.O.D. – Youth Of The Nation Lyrics | 21 years ago |

With the school shootings in Minnesota and what happened to that poor little girl in Florida, this song's been on my mind the last few days. I'm by no means, a kid myself, (I'm 28) but it is painfully obvious how fucked up it is to be a kid in today's America. The same shit keeps happening and it doesen't seem like it will ever end. It's depressing as hell. |

This may sound stupid, but I really believe if I hadn't first heard this song in July 2002, I wouldn't be alive today. I had a gun in my closet and everyday W would look at it, trying to gather the nerve to end my miserable fucking existance. And everyday, I would feel more dispairing, losing more and more of what little hope I had left, and I just knew THE DAY would be soon. Anyways, my cousin accidentally left his Staind CD at my house, so I thought I'd listen to it just to see if I like it (I was not yet a fan). When "Waste" came on, I was listening very closely, but when it came to the part where he starts screaming "Fuck you!" etc...I started crying. I could feel his anguish and it felt like he was yelling directly at me. Things still arent' great for me, but I realize, that until my heart stiops beating, I have to live my life and do the best I can. Life is full of shit, but there are beautiful things about it too. Sometiimes, you just have to look for them It'll probably never happen, but I'd love to meet Aaron someday, just so I could say "thanks". |

Anyone who's ever been mistreated, especially as a child, can relate to this song. I've had my share of bullies and tormenters but probably the worst was my kindergarten teacher...yes, my teacher. the woman who was supposed to be teaching me and helping me along, apparently found it was more fun to single me out and humiliate me at every turn. If I made a mistake, she pointed it out to the whole class, encouraging them to laugh at me. She even called me stupid. One time, I needed to use the restroom badly, but she wouldn't let me go, so...well...i pissed myself. And just a whole bunch other shit she put me through. I was finally taken out of her class. She was supposedly reprimanded (sp?) but I assume because of politics, she was able to keep her job. I was put in a much better teacher's class, but the damage was done. I've never really recovered from her abuse, though, i'm doing better now than I ever have. Unlike Aaron, I haven't been able to forgive my tormenter yet, but I do hope it fucks with her, and I think there's a chance it might. Her two "perfect" sons, one's in prison for murder and the other's a loser druggie, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get some satisfaction from that. So, anyway, thats my story. I am so grateful to Aaron Lewis for making music that lets people like me that we're not alone. I'm forever a Staind fan. |

| Dumping someone, then, getting lonely and wanting them back. It's a lousy spot to be in, because most people will have no sympathy for you. I've been there once. :( | |
