I agree with the people who are hinting towards a meaning about revenage and i see how you can tie the first verse with the movie and with Jared's childhood but i am also wondering if the second part of the first verse has anything to do with the law suit with the record company cause when he says,"I was hung from a tree made of tongues of the weak The branches, the bones of the liars, the thieves", it sounds to me like he is saying someone threw him under the bus aka the record company.

anyone see that too?
