It seems to me that this song is a rebuttle to Ben Moody's "10/22".
10/22
"Rants and fictions of violence,
Breaking the silence,
Hiding the wake of our deception,
Guarding desperate secrets buried below,
And you know...
This moment carries my last hesitation,
Seducing anger to haste my separation,
This solemn piece of a guilty net it grows, so cold,
Your every breath now strengthens my affliction,
My tears have faded, all hope of your conviction,
You were never the martyr you pretended to be,
And you know... "
I think this kind of gives this song the middle finger.
"So go and tell all your friends
That I'm a failure underneath
If it makes you feel like a bigger man
But it's my, my heart, my life
That you're calling a lie
I've played this game before
And I can't take anymore
I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything
Or just a new way to bleed?
I drifted beyond the end
Freedom, freedom
Can't you feel the ground caving in?
Freedom
Give us a reason to believe again"
I am probably totally wrong. The first time I heard this song I immediately thought of 10/22, and every time I do hear it, I think of it. It's a really good and well written song. But it makes me a little pissed at Ben lol.
