bought_in_blood, you're right. Ryan says this song is about gang life, and how the mentality is all wrong. Let me just put what he said...
Beheaded addresses the issues of gang life and the meaninglessness of the retribution that keeps it alive. The song talks about the never-ending cycle of revenge that fuels the gangster mentality. In this day and age, with the growing popularity of gangster rap and gang-influenced attitude and behavior, the general public are beginning to embrace the idea of a thug mentality. This mentality suggests concern only for one’s self and a total disregard and disrespect for anyone else. Not only this, but a complete lack of accountability for their actions, instead blaming their lifestyle on the haunting mistakes and atrocities of the past. The history and philosophy behind this mentality is dead wrong.
