This time I'll take every word with a grain of salt and stare you down.
One day you'll learn what a promise really is and the meaning of pride.
Go ahead and X up.
Sellout.
Straight Edge for a while.
A crooked X for that crooked smile.
A new trend.
A new start.
The X on your hand will never be there in you heart.
I am Straight Edge.

    I was just lisetening to this song today and I heard for the first time the lyric "Straight-edge for a while, a crooked-edge for that crooked smile" and it really hit me.

    I decided a couple of weeks back to try out straight-edge to see if it was right for me. I despise smoking, pills and pot and I have never been a "heavy" drinker. So I decided to give up alcohol for a month and see how it went. The month is almost over and I'm still not sure, the thing is I've been really depressed at parties I go to now that I'm not drinking, not to say that alcohol stops depression, but it's as though I don't notice the things that depress me.

    So I'm not sure if I'm gonna actually go straight-edge for life, but then I heard that line and I feel like such a fraud...

    I think I'll keep the whole no alcohol thing going for even longer just to see if it gets better in the long run, because besides alcohol everything about SxE suits me perfectly.

    This song has affected me hugely.

    The lyrics are self-explanatory, but the meaning I received is profound.
