| Gotta agree with the above. I love In Flames, and this song is definitely one of their best. Love the guitars and the pauses before the choruses. The guitars in their older albums were better than the new stuff. I'm not so big on STYE or RYT. I think this song is about anxiety, fear and obsession, leading to the point of contemplation of suicide. | |

| I'd like to agree with asadcw on this one. It's about depression sprung from the insigt that your life could be so much more, or at least be...SOMETHING. It's about not living the life you would want to live, beeing aware of it; and still not doing anything about it. Sooner or later you won't be able to stand the sight of (or the smell of...) the pathetic spoil of the human beeing you are. It would be like beeing trapped in a box you can't get out of. Sooner or later that feeling would lead right down the path of insanity and towards the inevitabel end... Then you would wake up and live life again...exactly the same. | |

| Whoa, I always thought the lyric was "Is life the dog that bites you." As in referring to alcohol. Whatever. | |
