I love this song. It's my 2nd favorite on this album next to Four Years.

At a recent concert Buddy said pretty much the exact same thing illegalpunkrkr said. He said how it's about finding out who you are, and stopping trying to being what you think someone in your family wants you to be, and being who you want to be.

I love this song so much. It has a really personal reflection on me, because I can relate to it a lot, especially to what Buddy said, also this line

"My Father taught me Firsthand how to be set free Give up and run away

I wish I could drain Out his half of blood in me But I still have his face

I curse reflections every day"

My birth father was a skin-head bastard, and left my mom after she found out she was pregnant. He wanted her to abort me. But the thing is, he had another girlfriend, when he got her pregnant. He's a racist asshole, and has he's hidden his identity from being found, like we can't locate him or anything. I used to want to at least know him.
I guess according to my mom and grandma, I look physically a lot like him. But I hate having his blood.

But yeah, this song just rocks.

and guys, try to go to any Senses Fail concert near you, theses guys are so kickass. I've been following them since 03. They're so amazing in concert. Buddy is all crowd surfing, and he sings such a variety, I mean as a treat they played one eight seven to close the show.

I love these guys.
