My Own Hell

Producer Kevin Churko encouraged frontman and lyricist Ivan Moody to take a highly personal approach throughout the record, and this song is about his self-destructive nature. Bathory explained to Kerrang!: "He definitely has multiple personalities that cause his life to be surrounded by chaos, and on this song he gives a really deep insight into the way that he is and the way that his mind works."

This track was originally going to be a bonus song but guitarist Zoltan Bathory explained to Metal Hammer, "it turned out so well — so primal, so stark — that we decided to include it on the album."

another very complete song... apparently Ivan has alot of inner anguish to deal with... but at least he knows how to channel it into songs like this.

sounds like my head.

Sounds like he goes through the same shit I do.

whatever you do don't sing the choruses of this song to a psychiatrist or psychologist lol you'll just pay their bills hahahah

@libernater, "toys in the attic" is like when you find old childhood toys in the attic, sends memories into your head, clutters your mind.

This song to me is about people with schizophrenia or ptsd as the lyrics "do the voices ever stop" seems like its about people with schizophrenia or any similar medical condition

I think this song is about self-hate and being trapped in your dark thoughts. If you inspect the lyrics closely, you see "losing the battle I've waged myself." If you think about these lyrics, you could connect the dots to your dark thoughts or voices.

This song is about the changes in politics and in the media since the election of chipper jones.

Since this song is on an album that was a dedication to the troops: I think this song is about PTSD.
