Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture ty Wanna Be	#1 by ty benson at Jan 13, 1971 at 10:59 AM EST
	To me this song means of how everyone acts different and they're against each other even though they have different ways of thinking. It's kinda meant for conformists is what I think.

No Picture Garth Rhythm Player	#2 by Garth Byrne at Apr 9, 1974 at 6:55 PM EST
	all of the above is true, single handedly most morally correct song on the album

No Picture Cicely aka Icic Badass	#3 by Cicely aka Icicles and CSkank Shankle (if u stalk me i will shoot you.) at May 12, 1979 at 9:51 AM EST
	This song is a good one, and i concur with whoever said it above. in flames does rule, and this is an excellent album. good stuff

No Picture I BAKE YOU MUFF Average	#4 by I BAKE YOU MUFFIN at Aug 20, 2001 at 5:12 PM EST
	This isn't really a memorable song, but it is a simple one to analyze. It's all about the sight, sounds and experiences many of us are missing in the constant rush for achievment and supremecy. The best line, in my opinion, is: "Why do you see me as an enemy?" It seems to sum the message up, in a sense. We're the same race, we just think different, yet those who think differently are considered strange, when maybe they should be considered gifted.

No Picture trey Average	#5 by trey bond at Jul 31, 2004 at 11:09 PM EST
	dest is right, i think

No Picture steven Average	#6 by steven shunnarah at Oct 21, 2006 at 1:06 PM EST
	maybe not their best, however yeah it's a good song.

No Picture austin Average	#7 by austin wheeler at Nov 4, 2006 at 12:01 AM EST
	also maybe the people on the otherside of the platinum door are the ones in the quicksand 1

No Picture ben Lead Player	#8 by ben Tee at Dec 14, 2006 at 12:43 PM EST
	I Agree With asadcw, Life is for living, not for hating, I also this this song is about loving life for what it is, not expanding in greed, today, human kind has gotton so greedy, it's killing this world, Human-Kind=Hate We must stop this greed somehow

No Picture london calling Average	#9 by london calling at Dec 24, 2006 at 1:51 PM EST
	i agree that its more black metally.. but i also think its meaning is very diverse. i'm no satanist but i can relate to this song. for me its about someone who has had all his faith and love into someone or something else (whether it be a person or higher) only to have it crushed, destroyed. this person or higher being has abandoned or really hurt him and he has now taken it upon himself to seek strength in all of his anguish. he's torn from human emotion, left hurt etc and bcuz of this experience, he is much more strong and hardened person-less susceptible to human pains etc. i also think its awesome that the song starts of with his heart being in flames bcuz his heart is left in a completely different state from what it started off with... well thats what this song says to me. or maybe its bcuz i'm too clouded in my life's issues that i refuse to see another meaning.. :) 1

No Picture Eric Wanna Be	#10 by Eric Griggs at Feb 27, 2007 at 10:25 PM EST
	Clayman is BEST album EVER to me (not only from in flames albums, from all of the albums in the world i've heard). My opinion is quite simmilar to these stated above, here it is: This song is about someone who are out of "normal" society border line (platinum door). Once you are thrown out, you will never come back as normal, and you can only observe 'platinum' door from distance, spending your days in quicksand. This is because if someone becomes an enemy to you and he/she is considered as normal in our world, you will get labeled as 'not normal' soon... You can not understand why everybody hates you then, but it is working like quicksand, if you get pulled in, you will drown faster and faster every day and no-one will bring you back throught platinum door ("How come you see me as an enemy? We just think in different words") Your thoughts or actions or point of view are ignored then and only thing what is left to you is to accept your fate. ("There's no shame in being the fool I've been to places you'll never find ") My favourite part is: "By myself, staring into space You're just bored of the silence it makes" In this world, very few people understand what is tolerance these times, everybody is focused on how to survive in the platinum chamber instead of doing what they want. When you are out of this chamber, you realize there is more things you never found earlier ("staring into space", "beuty in dead flowers")... I dont know if that made any sense at all, but i have so much to comment that i don't know what to comment at all...

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#11 by Derek O'Kanos at Mar 31, 2007 at 1:11 PM EST
	its a nice solo...one of in flames goodies...but not the best

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#12 by Matt Spencer at Apr 2, 2007 at 1:47 PM EST
	or not

No Picture eric Rhythm Player	#13 by eric morgan at May 2, 2007 at 3:14 AM EST
	in my opinion: not a very good song, except the part about "ravish my soul", he says it so intensely and powerfully.. This song is actually more black metal than death metal btw.

No Picture Ben Average	#14 by Ben Asay at May 30, 2007 at 5:56 PM EST
	I dont no what this osng is about but its a good one.

No Picture cash Wanna Be	#15 by cash putnam at Jun 16, 2007 at 7:54 AM EST
	Having listened to the song several more times, I also add that this is in fact a quite good song, but I think it would have been better of a bit shorter.

No Picture Marc Average	#16 by Marc Costello at Jul 15, 2007 at 10:06 PM EST
	quite possibly the best solo ever

No Picture Scott Wanna Be	#17 by Scott Reid at Sep 14, 2007 at 3:58 PM EST
	This song is about how people think they have all the answers and won't bother to appreciate others viewpoints. (other side of the platinum door) Sometimes you have to actually have the experiences in life to fully understand things. (empty plate you call home) Nobody's perfect. Also, people worry about rationalizing everything, when we should just let go and love life for what it is. (another day in quicksand)
