"i think its funny how new in flames always puts lyrics in the book that they dont say at all in their songs like the (need to be motivated) in this song. but actually u never really know if they say it or not, cuz u always hear anders doin his gay uhhhhhahhhh moan moan in the background pretending to know how to sing. so he could be saying those lyrics and u dont even know it lol." Maybe he does it because the words mean something to him, other than chunking a bunch of words together and screaming them into a song. There's probably a main theme or message that he's trying to get across.

Even though I like this song, it sounds tragically much like a nu-metal teen-ager wrote it..

this song seems like it is about a relationship with someone that is heading for worse than for better. "it took so long to see the world your mind creates, it pushes me under" He is now realizing that the relationship sucks and he is like, fuck you, i dont want to even talk to you. "like you better dead"

"I can be as angry as I want to be" Can't get much more mallcore than that.

i actually think he is talking about himself in this song, like a side of himself that he doesnt like. 1
