These Fighting Words

the lead guitar parts on this are nothign short of perfect. the chor is possibly the best that dez has ever laid down.

but the meaning of this song is kinda obvious, it is just 'dont start shit if you arent ready to take it'. sort of like, 'fight if you are going to, but if you are just going to talk, then leave, and never come back'.

Two Highways The fork in the road Which one to take? Through the middle they rode

I'm thinking this means to take your own path in life, Dare to be Different!!!!

First to comment this awesome song. Unfortunately I cant seem to figure out the meaning, but all i know is this song is amazingly awesome.

aLL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM ARE INSANE. BY FAR MY FAVORITE ALBUM YET. I especially love the guitar solo on this song. For some reason I skate real well when I listen to this.

This song is a direct overdue response to the song "Enemy" by Sevendust.

I just discovered this song a few days ago and it is the most goddamn awesome song( next to Final Six by Slayer). I listen to it every day and it will never get old! The guitar solo is the best part. When ever I am at the gym, the solo pumps me up really good.

Scream at the beginning is epic

what is the scale of this song. for some reason i can't figure it out. PLEASE. any one help?

I'm definitely thinking the song is about the strive for change, and the fear of change that many people have

"Two Highways, a fork in the road/Which one to take? Through the middle they rode" talks about carving a new path; making change. Doing something new Then it goes into how "These fighting words deserve exile; Banished"; which goes into peoples fear of change; they don't want to leave the comfort of what they have now "Long for the home I left yesterday"; and then goes to talk about how regardless of backlash; change will happen, "Unbelievable, [yet] Invincible"

The idea of change and progress will always be there; people will always strive for it, with or without the support of neophobic masses
