The entire song "Caution, Dangerous Curves Ahead" is in retaliation to Underoath turning their backs on Dallas. It was Dallas' band, He was the original member. Aaron Gillespie wanted him out to take more creative control of the band, and took advantage of Dallas going through a rough time in his life to get him out of the band.
"The ones that carry never back down.
I want to be the bullet that brings you to your knees.
You ran,I'm still swinging."
Is a metaphor for the undying hatred Dallas expresses for Aaron and the rest of Underoath, as is the whole song and most of the album. Seeing as how Dallas is a christian, he had to disguise his hate deeply in his lyrics to avoid being callous.
"Feel your insides as they grow weak.
Forgive me for this on the other side I won't hurt you.
Angels a stage that never ending hell in your eyes."
Dallas has said in interviews that he has had dreams about what would become of underoath even after he left the band, this passage can be interpretted as one of these dreams where he invisions himself murdering Aaron and possibly even all of the members of Underoath, then asking god for forgiveness. Angels a stage means Underoath is using the christian scene to make it big, but is in fact not in touch with the christian lifestyle what so ever. He is ridiculing them for being posers. Tastefully of course.
"Your truth those secrets you regret, but you always go back.
Give it sometime sweet one he'll show your soul for all who believe to see.
Your wrongs will not go away.
Hard times are coming."
This passage is where the song gets really blatant that it is about Aaron. Calling him a fake and a poser, that day his true self would be reveiled and that hard times are coming. Presumably for the band underoath.
"You wanna feel this.
Come a little closer it's time you see these scars.
A true friend takes without giving."
More lyrical stabbing at Aaron, and the band. Calling them out on not having any clue how he feels and not caring, claiming to be true friends, but really only caring about themselves... a pretty acurate depiction too.
