No Picture Black Saints Average	#1 by Black Saints at Aug 25, 2006 at 9:26 AM EST
	I know a lot of people are disappointed with this song, but I think it's one of the most powerful, at least to me. I love this song. I love how it starts off slow in the beginning and then it gradually gets faster and faster until BOOM the chorus hits... I really like the guitar in the chorus, and the versus are just so powerful. I think the song is about a time period where there is a war going on, and everyone is preoccupied and worried. and the guy is saying "I'll be your distraction. I'll be yours"... it's just amazing. I'm not sure if I'm right... but I was thinking that in this part: "there's a field nearby, with words written in stone" means that maybe the field is a cemetary? and maybe someone has died? it's just a guess....

	I think this song is great, to all the people wanting Blink back, sure it would be cool, but there's only so many songs about fucking chicks and in some cases fucking guys that a guy can write about. You can't blame Tom for trying something new and I respect the guy for that. People grow up and it's so evident with the last Blink album. There's not many pop-punk songs on that album maybe 3 or 4, the rest have a lot of ingredients that AVA has (well the ones that Tom wrote anyway). I say good luck to the guy and cheers for putting out another great album

No Picture btotherizzad Average	#3 by btotherizzad moriznad at Jan 21, 2007 at 10:16 AM EST
	last time I checked, this forum was for song MEANINGS... not to complain or discuss Tom and his personal life

No Picture bob Average	#4 by bob polein at Aug 13, 2007 at 8:49 PM EST
	ok what this song is about is from the words of tom himself he said this song is like... your standing in your town, talking to the girl of your dreams, and you notice planes flying in, and dropping bombs, and theres fire all around you, and smoke is rolling in and everyone around you is dying and screaming/running... and the only thing you say to the girl is " ILL BE YOUR DISTRACTION" very powerfull... excellent song

No Picture Håvard Average	#5 by Håvard Banne at Aug 23, 2007 at 9:53 PM EST
	I think this is one of the weaker songs on the album. I like the lyrics, but I just don't like the beat. It's obviously about a city evacuated for war and someone (maybe a soldier) is dedicating a field to his love.
