No Picture Dudey Average	#1 by Dudey at Sep 28, 2007 at 7:19 AM EST
	I would like to correct myself before someone else corrects me and starts some big ass argument. it probably is about her killing the child and them meeting in hell for it. and 90% of what is just said doesn't work. P.S. K In Yo Mouf. I think you're almost completely wrong about the meaning, and i think you have a very disturbing name. Good job.

No Picture Matthew Average	#2 by Matthew Spencer at Sep 28, 2007 at 8:55 PM EST
	Yeah this song does kick ass. I believe it has a deep meaning but I can’t quite grasp what it means.

No Picture bigus Average	#3 by bigus dickus at Sep 29, 2007 at 1:04 PM EST
	Where did you hear the acoustic version?

No Picture The Angel of De Lead Player	#4 by The Angel of Death at Sep 29, 2007 at 10:58 PM EST
	song is awsome i like the acoustic version

No Picture Jesse Wanna Be	#5 by Jesse ritchie at Sep 30, 2007 at 12:06 AM EST
	i could be completely off on this meaning...but maybe its about abstenence... And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone? Or am I just a picture in a photograph? Why are we stuck in this pantomime, fearing a god who died One who would not deny lovers sounds like hes saying why would God not want us to have sex, its like denying people love...and then the lines But, if this must be, burn with me Anything Just don’t leave… sounds like hes saying if it is this way...then lose your virginity to me and we'll burn in hell, but we'll still have eachother for ever

No Picture little Average	#6 by little emo at Oct 5, 2007 at 11:06 AM EST
	ok, it is about him and a girl having a baby That explain the: "So she walked in the baby’s room Knowing what she would do left me in absolute horror She put her hand on its lips and gave it one last kiss" Then it goes onto the end where it says: "She swore she heard the voice of Jesus Telling her “it was wrong to keep it” And one more thing, it looked like me Back when it breathed…Rest in peace" She then killed the baby saying Jesus told her to do it and the reason you can tell it was his kid is because he says it looked like him. There, done and done.

No Picture Andrew Average	#7 by Andrew Metcalfe at Oct 6, 2007 at 5:50 AM EST
	Yeah you dont need 10 pages about what this song is about. This song is about The Rapture. Done. For you who dont know what thats means that when you transport from here to heaven. The whole song is basiclly telling you to be good and dont do bad shit like kill your kids. Cuz you wanna be ready when Jesus comes back to take us home.

No Picture Sara Average	#8 by Sara Sunshine at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:13 AM EST
	Kickass song for sure!!

No Picture Daniel Average	#9 by Daniel at Oct 6, 2007 at 9:11 AM EST
	I Understand Wat ur Sayin GreatDestroyer, But It Doezn't Fully Explain The Song... u Can't Deny The Religiouz Implicationz of The Song... Juzt Another Theory, But I'm Also Starting 2 Think That It Iz Much More About the Love Between Him And Thiz Woman, Becauze It Seemz That As the Song Goez On, He Acceptz the Death of Hiz Child, Almost Becauze He Iz Willing 2 Do Anything 2 Stay With Hiz Woman... Then, In the Last Line, He Iz Sayin That the Baby Iz Gone, Until the Rapture Comez And He Iz Reunited With Hiz Child In the Kingdom of God...
