it looks really confusing but after a few listens it should make sense, just
work out the strumming pattern by ear. for corrections email me at

| You are the most ignorant piece of shit I've ever came across. I don't think there is a band that is more original or brilliant. Matt Skiba is a fucking genius. | |

| i love this song. i wouldn't say its my favourite on crimson, but then, theyr all excellent so its hard to have a favourite. sepulchrave, may i suggest you get your hearing tested- or perhaps you are merely one of those; the despicable and abhorred metalheads. as it is i owe you thanks- your insipid unintelligent whining provoked me into joining this forum. cheers. | |

| mstrsk8r00---Deadly 1-7 doesnt refer to the 10 commandments; havnt you ever heard of the 7 Deadly Sins? They are: Gluttony, Lust, Envy, Pride (vanity), Sloth (lazinesss), Greed, and Wrath (anger, hate). Just thought youd like to know> viva la trio. peace. 1 2 Next | |

| sepulchrave, i think you must mean UNDERrated. No-one in England has even heard of them unless they like rock (not many people, i can tell you) and even then its mostly like "ahh ive heard of them ,but never heard their stuff". They deserve more than they get, especially from people like you. Matt Skiba IS a fucking genius, thanks Alk3philosophy, and he is also fucking sexy. You obviously don't know them weel enough - anyone who did would never say that. Fuck you. | |

| i think this song has to do with sin and the devil "Like the pills in your hand, I'll never let you down" sayin by takin these pills and sinning unlike god, satan wont let you down giving you a feeling of sadation In the palm of your hand, a resting place All the guilt in the land resting on me these pills in your hand are a "resting place", a state of sadation (sin) once a again guilt relating to sin Send us back to hell, we've had our fill of heaven Give us back our sins deadly one through seven Keep us from their hearts, saving us like ashes Grind us down to dust, never trust in anything we're told simpley stating heaven sucks im sick of it send me back to hell. i want to commit sins the deadly 1-7 mabe relating to the ten commandments??? keep us from their hearts, asking satain to keep them from the christians hearts make them stop praying for me and trying to save me from evil. grind us down to dust meaning cremate me into dust and dont trust the chruch sayin heaven is wonderful cuz it sux. i also think the song is about sending both matt and dan back to hell as they use words such as "us" and considering both of them sing the chorus......a really deep song if you ask me, being i have the only interpertation of the song so far let me know what you think | |

| Alkaline Trio is one of the most overrated bands currently breathing our air. Their songs are all the same. And Matt Skiba is a moron. | |

| A great song off of Crimson... Skiba, the mastermind, compares himself to a pill that makes people happy... And once again, Matt and Dan have a segway chorus that makes their shit sound so good and catchy, i can't get enough of the trio! trio is my favorite band by far...Edited by oofus on December 11 2005, at 12:41PM | |

| This is awesome. Crimson does take a few listens to get into, but it's probably one of my favorite albums by Alk3. Awesome | |

| God, only one page of comments to this song? Oh well. I really like the way Dan and Matt alternate in the chorus and then sing together at the end! And no, Alk3 aren't punk, they're sort of emo... but they can't be put in any specific category. No idea what the song's about though :P | |

| How can you call a band as talented and original as alkaline trio overrated? firstly they get nowhere near as much respect as they deserve, not in England anyway....their lyrics are some of the best poetry i have ever read and Matt has to be on of the best songwriters/poets in a long time....the music is so fucking original too....their older stuff is such an unclassifiable breed of dark punk-pop that sounded nothing like the mainstream shit being poured out and the new stuff is just pure musical genius that i cannot begin to put in a catagory...its not punk its just brilliant music and to call a band as original as them overrated is just plain ignorant....i can accept people not liking them but to call them overrated is just stupid | |

| This is one of my most favorite Alk 3 songs. Crimson is by far my most favorite Alk 3 cd. Sepulchrave, you my friend are an idiot for thinking that. Alk 3 and Matt Skiba are one the most brilliant bands i have heard. The way they write there songs is amazing and the way Matt Skiba can take a normal saying and makin it somthing more meaning full amazes me. | |
