AFI – No Poetic Device Lyrics 18 years ago
saying that this song is about depression is a little vague, don't you think? this song is about a destructive decision that was made... consequently destroying a dream he had for the future:
"Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in."

yall are focusing too much on the gory diction used... he may not be specifically referring to self mutilation here; ever hear of a thing called imagery?

Kasabian – Shoot the Runner Lyrics 18 years ago
the runner= a girl who lives the fast life.

shooting her? tying her down, probably in a relationship. hence the 'you're my queen, bitch'. it's not about respect, it's about wanting her so bad he's willing to strap her in, basically.

Blue October – Drilled a Wire Through My Cheek Lyrics 18 years ago
It's obviously an addiction to a harmful behavior:

"And where crying isn’t secret
It’s the art of how we grieve"

-taking pain and escaping through behavior... drugs, sex, whatever.

"And when the hurt comes there’s an argument
A fight to save a smile"

-not a split personality, but a war waged against himself to quit or continue his addiction.

"And where confidence is found
Attached to wires on a sleeve"
-although he may find solace, there are strings attached to the way he copes.
