Billy Talent – Rusted From The Rain Lyrics 16 years ago
This is what I believe that this song is about.
Things are rusted from the rain when they are forgotten about or left alone for long periods of time. This is about a relationship where one lover does not care about the other for reasons unknown, be it another person or entertainment or whatever, people do strange things.

Go on crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain

Flowers are insignificant. I would crush one without even thinking about it. Comparing a human to a crushed flower is truly calling someone worthless.

You hung me like a picture, now I'm just a frame
I used to be your lap dog, now I'm just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, left here to decay

Obviously the person he speaks about cares very little for him or may even resent him. All this stanza does is emphasize Bens feelings.

Prototype – Seed Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe that this song is about living in someones shadow for most of your life only to wake up one day and realize that you are a lie.

Learning to fly in skies
That fail to persuade my soul
Has shattered my mind

How this stanza is relevant is that you grow up being untrue to yourself always trying to please and impress another person and become someone your not. A guy can only be himself and you get progressively depressed.

So helpless I bleed
Emptied nest of creativity
The silence no longer my friend
Or my seed

Of course you can never really win over this significant person because you are a lie and have no passion or confidence and are helpless because this is all you know. You feel as if you have been torn in two with a constant tug of war going on in your head and you feel empty because you hardly know yourself and your own skin feels almost alien.

Found myself holding on
To something that was so untrue
Trying to make up for all
That was gone

You hold on to your old self because you think it may still be worth something and may be able to please the person because your relationship with them has deteriorated.

Reversing time and fighting the tide
Impregnating fate with my pride
I will not compromise

Start over. Rebuild yourself the way it was meant to be even though you may not always please the other person. You are the master of your own life.

Thanks for listening.
