It's hard for me to figure out what this means for Me. The feel i get from it is a sadness, guilt, a bit of anger prehaps... a franticness. I very much so enjoy this song and would love to know what they were thinking when they wrote it. When she says "No masters, no gods, no laws, no soul" It seems almost like a rationalisation. Like the world would think she she has no master, no personal gods, goes by no laws, that she must also lack a soul. The song to me rings out like she's breaking away from conventual thinking. Prehaps it means once she had a faith but the laws or what not within it were so tight around her that she left it and now that comiunity looks down on her? "My heart starts collapsing My soul starts reacting I'm back in the fire again

I'm burning & bleeding The parasites are feeding It's me versus me & all of them" This section to me sounds as if prehaps she carries a guilt from the old religion, like prehaps if she had left christianity that she feels guilty for some things she may be doing and the burning part refers to hell? Prehaps she fights with herself to justify what she does? The continuous referance to martyrs could be that people are condemming her for what she believes now? I'm not sure anyways. I just like this song alot. Of course i came here looking to see what the real meaning is becuz where I am christian and I like to play my music loud i want to make sure that it's not something i shouldn't be listening to. It doesn't feel wrong and the song doesn't seem wrong at all... just making sure. It does indeed sound like suffering to me. Great song though :)
