No no, we have it all wrong, in one way or another this song is about death because every other song on the album is purely about death. I'm not sure to the meaning of this song so i wont even attempt to interpret it. I will say that it definitely is about death though because every other song on epitaph is directly about elements associated with death. A symbolic stabwound from a betraying friend would not cause death, certainly dismay, but not death. So somehow we haven't gotten the correct meaning to this song yet. Epitaph is an inscription upon a tombstone when one dies, a description of dead soul. Which is why THIS album is purely about death. Onset of putrefaction is more like morbid stuff, still death, but branches out into necrophagia and other gruesome topics thus is less refined.

What? How can a "symbolic stabwound" refer to death? Even so, this album presents a much more mature style of song writing than the one that is found on Onset of Putrefaction. The songs aren't all just about ridiculous and grotesque subjects.

The song really is pretty self explanatory. There is no way to protect yourself from people you trust stabbing you in the back unless you trust no one.

this song is about betrayal. hence the phrase backstabber . not literally a knife .but a metaphoric invisible knife.
