A Shot Below the Belt Lyrics

Don't you understand me? This cloud over my head is not ok. There are things that I need to get done, and it doesn't give you permission to take a shot below the belt. We have so little time; let's not spend it in anger. I am in the deep end and can't find air. I am throwing punches with a blindfold on. Because I may just brake suddenly. I would rather not explode. That's your job. I'm stuck in between two worlds in a maze of dreams and thoughts. What a bitter sweet symphony life is, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

basically saying: we have good times and bad times why not lend a hand instead of being a douche and tearing people down

he "wouldnt have it any other way" because living life without emotions is not truly living

I agree. we don't realize it, but the bad times in life is what characterizes us, shapes us.

Yet again, I believe ABR are campaigning for a better world. Their music sends the message of peace and understanding. They, I believe, are adamantly against the muteness and uncaring visage of the world. Basicly, it's what would be hailed as an idealistic emo message, presented in a non-whiny, virtuous sense.

I think he's talking about how when he's going through tough times, he needs help. And when people pick on him, it just makes things worse. At the same time, however, he is saying that life is still good.
