This song is about people who go to any extent to make themselves popular. I know many like this, I sent more than a few of them to the hospital before I even made it into High school and even more since graduating. I work with a lad like this, 22 years old. He wouldn't mind getting his arse handed to him if it means that people are talking about him the next day. He went home from work early the other day because his stomach hurt. Six days later when he finally came back he tried passing it out as "I got locked up" and got on the defensive when I told him I wouldn't stay late for him "Because my stomach hurt" and everyone caught on. He's the first to pull the "What, you wanna fight?" when he fucks up and needs a distraction so you don't catch it, last time I kinds turned around "Well... Yes actually" and he took off. Anyhow it's about those kinds of people, the kind of people who go through anything for their image, not caring who they step on and climb over to get it, it's when those people they see "beneath them" rebel and tear them down, throwing them to the floor that it hits them, they've fucked up worse than before, people are hating them as much as others are loving them and their "friends" ain't about to step up and defend them. This is exemplified once again by Ajay Patel, who got his arse kicked when his "Best Friend" couldn't step into the fight until he returned to the car to hide his iPhone... Yeah, this song's about you Patel...The only man I've ever seen shirts for sale reading '[YOUR NAME HERE] CAN KISS MY ASS'
