Thousand Foot Krutch – The Safest Place Lyrics 15 years ago
Well personally i feel this song is about all forms of drug/alcoholic escapes, some people need drugs or alcohol to escape from the everyday and then they get addicted and the escape or "cure" from life then becomes the disease and was the disease from the beginning. I also hear instead of "all i feel is friction, i don't want it i hate this addiction" i hear instead "And all i feel is affliction, i don't want it i hate this addiction" which seems to make more sense since the song is about all addictions as the first line states "Im convinced i've seen, an escape for everything, they might have different names but their all the same" which to me seems hes not just talking about heroin or coccaine or alcohol or any destructive addiction that all do the same thing. anyway thats my 2 cents.

Mudvayne – Death Blooms Lyrics 15 years ago
Its not about old age lol. Ask any mudvayne fan and they will tell you that the guys been addicted to Drugs. Hence the name Mudvayne. Also almost all his songs are about the many feeling you get when having Heroin. A.Happy B.Hate for yourself C.Sadness D.Hate for what you are. E.Loving the numb feeling F.Guilty for loving how it makes you feel etc. This is a song about Hate for what you become. Hate for everything youve done, seen, felt, guilt, everything. And just wanting to end it where it all began, with the drug. This song is about Intentional Overdose. if you don't believe me listen to this part very carefully


I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams souls searching death blossoms where clouds lie over me held in god's hands death blooming

Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins unveiling rancid petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a blink and a tear
...death blooms.



He asked for a god to give him a poison that would send him to the afterlife. "Dark for fear for failure, an inner gloom as wide as an eye and fermenting. Roiling hate death GRIP IN MY VEINS." "Grip in my veins" is pretty self explanatory. I love this song and i must say its one of my favorites they have ever done. this and "Forget to remember"

Nonpoint – Mindtrip Lyrics 16 years ago
its not about a drug trip, atleast i don't think so. i think its about He is gonna take you on a mind trip with his music. The first is "your about to see a mind trip so get your ticket stamped" then he talks about ranting and raving and the aftermath after his music hits you and shakes your skeleton. the second part i do think is about him taking you on a mind trip but it sure sounds alot like acid trip. Weird song and he is probably the only one who could explain it.

Nonpoint – Victim Lyrics 16 years ago
It to me explains just saying Fuck It All, at first you notice you did something wrong and you go "my god what have i done can you forgive me?" then you just get pissed and say "Fuck it all!" and go berserk in a blind rage of just being pissed and negative.

Blue October – Sound Of Pulling Heaven Down Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song, very visual. one of the best love songs in my opinion. but i heard different words on a few verses such as

So never look behind, there's spooky people breathing down= So never look behind, or let spooky people bring you down(this is what i heard)

I'll wear my suit and tie, would I and I toss into= I'll wear my suit and tie, while i and i toast to ?(something about making a toast to the way she made him smile)

Yeah hell is just a parade (parade)=Yeah hell is jealous of the rain(this is what i hear)

While befriending fade while luring way of putting us to shame= While befriending Fate's a luring way of putting us to shame


Once again i could be wrong but im pretty sure the verses that are posted as the lyrics are wrong. im not saying these are correct im just saying this is what i hear. Really good song though, one of my favs off of Foiled

Blue October – Amnesia Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about the mistake of becoming addicted to drugs. He loved someone who was doing them to and he always helped that person "Always catch your fall" and then he moved on in life and decided he didn't want to do drugs anymore.
"I wish I could go to sleep and wake up with amnesia
And try to forget the things that I've done
I wish I knew how to keep the promises I made you
But life, I guess it goes on
Yeah, I know it goes on
You see, I've learned it goes on
Then I'll hang us on the wall
And I'll crawl to the open side
And I'm blind to it all
So why don't you
Crawl in my open side
Become blind to it all
To it all, to it all, to it all, to it all, all all"

This is the transition going from drugs to sober, he talks about blinding himself to all the drugs and things he did and goes to an "Open Side" which is being able to live without Dependency on drugs and he wishes the person he loves would "Crawl in my open side, become blind to it all"(become sober too)
This is what i think but then again a song could mean something to me and what he meant it to be could be another. Let me know if you know the meaning for sure

Blue October – The Answer Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song. i think its about falling in love with someone before you want to, you want to remain sheltered in a shell "that i have to learn to live and dream before i go and get myself in love". He loves her and she doesn't love him so he tries to medicate and the "There's Zoloft, Welbutrin, there's Paxil that's proven, no side effects." this says he tried to go on Anti Depression pills, but they didn't do anything so he went to self medication
"But the rest left unnamed 'cuz they'd work like a charm on me" this is the self medication and they helped him. this song is an amazing and very true description of how self medicating can help flush away any bad thing that makes you sad, thats why they work like a charm on him. Im interested in what others think so lemme know if you got more than that meaning from this song.

Breaking Benjamin – Home Lyrics 16 years ago
also, these are the lyrics i hear and they make more sense in context that the song is about wanting to be in a place of belonging



Cause I'm home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Could you let me go down
To the end of the road
In the black and white
Technicolorful life
Then another arrives
It's a cowardly lion
What I want from this world
What I want to resolve
Well I want you to stay
So I want you to wait
I don't wanna be Bold
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna grow old
I don't wanna go home....




this makes more sense in my mind

Breaking Benjamin – Home Lyrics 16 years ago
I feel like this song is about belonging in a different place which is the Moral to Wizard of Oz, Dorothy gets trapped in a place she feels like she doesn't belong and wants to go to that place of perfect serenity to her, the place that she loves that is home to her. this song is about wanting to go to that place of perfect serenity and feeling like you belong there, but at the end of the song he sings about not wanting to go home, i believe this reason is in the song, the person feels like this is where he belongs, this place that was once so strange and alien to him is now is place of serenity, it is now his home. I love breaking benjamin and i think this is my favorite song off of this album, i can relate to the lyrics alot other than the ending(realizing your already home) and hope to one day find my place of happiness and belonging, i hope one day to go Home.

The Used – Sold My Soul Lyrics 16 years ago
first off one of the reasons why the used songs have alot to do with drugs is because bert is addicted, i don't know if he got clean but this song is definately a song about a struggle between drugs and a person, the chorus

Sold my life to bring the rain,
Maybe to wash me clean.
Sold my soul to stop the pain,
Hoping you'd set me free.

this is hating being dirty, he sold his soul to stop the pain hoping that heroin would set him free, the disease he is talking about is the witdrawl from heroin.

All your fear,
All your shame,
You know that you can lay it all on me.
You can lay it all on me.

this and the verses seems to be about a person who hates him doing this thing he has to have. this song is awesome and i can totally relate

The Used – Kissing You Goodbye Lyrics 16 years ago
My all time favorite song off of this album, i believe its about being in love, and without that girl in Berts life he is nothing, not alive and just bleeding. This song seems to be about that girl either wants to leave Bert or wanting Bert to leave her, he doesn't want to kiss her goodbye cause that will be the end, he doesn't want it to end, he doesn't want their love to die. I relate to this song and i love Bert, he is one of the few musicians that i can relate to.

The Used – Empty With You Lyrics 16 years ago
this song is pretty self explanitory but for those who are looking for what its about, its about loving someone so much that you would give up everything, be empty and hallow if it meant being with that person. Thats what i think, get back at me about it

The Used – Blood On My Hands Lyrics 16 years ago
this is a very good song and Bert is a lyrical genius, i think its that he secretly wants to kill this girl or guy but is hesitating, he doesn't wanna be himself around him/her because the him they want to see is the one that wants to kill them. but i agree, its about killing someone and i agree with ItTakesMore, the lyrics he has posted are the ones i heard in the song

Breaking Benjamin – Without You Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song, the final chapter of dear agony, i cried when i heard this song because i felt this way before, i believe it is either the ending of a relationship through death or she breaks up with him, its about how he loves her so much that he allowed himself to be dragged down just to be with her but now that she is gone he realizes what he has become and now she is gone he cannot go on without her, the fight never ends and he has to face the dark of this world alone now. the reason i believe that she died is this verse


Come back down, save yourself
I can't find my way to you
And I can't bear to face the truth

this i think is either she saved herself and found a way out either in death or change, but now he has fallen so far down he believes he cannot find his way to her but he cannot face what has happened so he denies it now this is another verse that makes me believe she died

Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive you, forget you, the end

he is holding the hand that dragged him down and now that he is at the end of their relationship he forgives her, he cannot have her leave with that regret and pain, he forgives her for doing that but he wants to forget the pain of letting go therefore the end. This song is wonderful and my favorite of all the songs, thank god for breaking benjamin, without them i would feel alone with these feelings of mine, but listening to these guys makes me know there are others out there with the same feelings, even though i have never met these guys i feel very close to them through their lyrics.

Breaking Benjamin – Lights Out Lyrics 16 years ago
wow, i can't believe nobody has commented yet, well this is one of my favorite songs because i have tried to do this, this song is about two people, him and another person, whether that person is a man or woman i don't know but i do know that at the beginning he was trying to help this person, help fix him/her, but he is done pretending that there is something left to save, lyrical correction


I am done pretending
You have failed to find what's left
I will suck you dry again
Some are not worth saving
You are such a pretty mess
I will choke the life within

this is he is done with him/her and is going to just not care because he/she has done something to piss him off so he wants revenge, he is the monster in his/her head and the venom in their skin, when he is done and leaving this person he will remember how they "screamed" which is how they feel after he got revenge

I am suffocating
You have failed to pull me in
I will drag you down again
Life is unrelenting
Feeding lies into my head
i will feed the lies you live

he can't afford to care because all they did was bring drama into his life and lie to him and feed him lies and they are miserable so instead of taking his help seriously they try to pull him down again, this verse pretty much explains why he wants revenge, i have felt this time and time again, but i learned that some people are not worth saving.

Breaking Benjamin – What Lies Beneath Lyrics 16 years ago
like any good breaking benjamin song, i believe this song is about a woman he loves and she just plays with his mind so he will start a fight and explain but she doesn't cry, she doesn't get it, she turns the "tide" on him meaning she flips it right back on him, he feels like there is more to her than there appears he is trying to find "what lies beneath her sick twisted smile" while he is caught in her eyes. He can't leave because he is still hoping this is just the surface of who she really is. Love this song, in fact breaking benjamin is on the top of my list of favorite bands

Breaking Benjamin – Hopeless Lyrics 16 years ago
i can't believe anyone would be disappointed with any breaking benjamin albums, all have their style of music and i believe Ben is a lyrical Genius, but for this song i can't believe anyone doesnt get the meaning of this song, from my perspective of it its about afraid of dying with so many regrets and afraid of where you'll end up when you die

"Sink into the grave
There is nothing left inside
But I am wide awake
I can hear the devil call my name"

but i am not completely sure, i plan on hearing other people's theories on this song

Breaking Benjamin – Give Me A Sign Lyrics 16 years ago
i love breaking benjamin for this reason, songs like this could mean something to him but has many different meanings for other people, i'll go with the meaning he meant for, its from the point of view of him or someone else and they have lost their way and is screaming for help from someone they are losing, or maybe its about someone dying, personally to me this album has a theme, mainly the end of life, but life in general and how wonderful and painful it can become but at the end it doesn't matter, just like in the curious case of benjamin button, "You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go." Captain Mike.

Blue October – Chameleon Boy Lyrics 16 years ago
very good song, my favorite of all the blue october. Its about him not caring about people finding out about his secret because of the close friends he had that died. Its about telling someone about his drug use while being depressed about who he has become and what happened to his friends. i can relate to the story in this song, every song blue october has come out with i can relate to it on some level.

Blue October – Independently Happy Lyrics 16 years ago
i can relate to this song, Word for Word, its about being sick and tired of the person you've become, so sick that you get fed up with the bullshit of having to rely on a substance and so you decide to become independently happy.

Blue October – Into the Ocean Lyrics 16 years ago
think of life, compare life to this song, its kinda like Jump Rope from Approaching normal but more visual. Think of the things in your life you did to make you wanna "rather swim ashore" then everything goes wrong, what seemed simple and fun is now scary and making you afraid for your life, then later in the song he realizes what he did and hates himself for the "loss of her the one i love" so he ends it in the ocean where it began. lyrical genious, love blue october

Slipknot – Child of Burning Time Lyrics 16 years ago
Everytime I listen to this song I cry, it is so awesome. Corey has an amazing voice and I think that this new slipknot album is a little softer but the meanings of the lyrics are deeper than any other album except their first album, song "scissors" and vol. 3 "vermillion pt 1 and 2". I really like this album cause I can relate to almost every song. This song I think is about having alot of money and still being miserable and also having to be in hell "I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame". "A chance to give up Avarice marks my one regret" this says that he had a chance to give up greed. Maybe its about having money but being lonely "I missed my window years ago, i'm doing all i can", maybe he missed the chance(window of opportunity) to give up being lonely. "I won't become your hero just to fight the life i saved" this says that maybe him and a girl (maybe?) fought? "I won't give up tomorow just to lose it all today" he doesn't want to give up after everything is gone. "I cut my need into my heart/soul" he is gonna bury what he needs to go on with his life. I don't know how accurate I am so please, whoever reads this correct and change what i have missed or got wrong. Thanks :). i love this song and the new album but so far, my favorite song is this one and Gehenna

Slipknot – Gehenna Lyrics 16 years ago
First time listening to this song I cried, it is a really good song, mixed with the Slipknot style heavy metal with Corey's voice which, I think, is amazing. I read up top that Gehenna is a place of punishment also known as hell. If you have ever been in love or just thought you were and had that taken away from you then you should know the meaning of this song very well 'cause after something like that happens, you feel terrible like in a place of punishment, or hell. atleast that is what I get from this song. One of my favorites, but I like the songs that are very close and personal such as Scissors from Slipknot's first album.

Slipknot – Butcher's Hook Lyrics 16 years ago
Honestly, what I get out of it, is that Corey is explaining how the music industry has changed and that its just a bunch of people in suits that are selling music and doesn't care if it is horrible or if the lyrics are horrible, if it sells then the corporates will sell it just to make a quick buck. That is why I love Slipknot and Stonesour.
