Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture robert Professional	#1 by robert cunningham at Feb 12, 1970 at 3:17 AM EST
	FUCK FUCK FUCK THIS SONG FUCKING OWNS MY FUCKING LIFE!! ROOAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GUITAR RIFFS OUTTA HELLS ASS!!!! YEAH FUCKING GET YOUR GUNS BITCH!!!!!

No Picture Jake Average	#2 by Jake Tone at Mar 6, 1971 at 10:36 PM EST
	and the lyrics were way cooler when they weren't complaining about teen angst, sheesh, if I wanted to know whether I "feel anything at all" I would listen to Kelly Clarkson.

No Picture Seejay Average	#3 by Seejay at Jun 8, 1971 at 11:11 AM EST
	I love InFlames, and this song is great. It has such meaning while sounding SO COOL!!

No Picture Matt Rhythm Player	#4 by Matt Hudson at Jun 4, 1973 at 4:55 AM EST
	Hm, as said above, the riffs are catchy, but the overall feel of the song (and the rest of Clayman as a whole) is just so different from Whoracle and Jester Race, it's got kind of a Linkin Park-esque sound that makes the metal seem kind of forced at times: still a good album, tho you should make sure you check out Whoracle if you like this.

No Picture darin Average	#5 by darin ? at Jan 5, 1974 at 11:27 AM EST
	"Only when you lose everything, are you free to do anything." A nice little Fight Club quote which I think sums this song up, particularly the line verse: "It's the cowardice that pulls you under And takes you to the end, where it begins Release, the world is waiting on your arrival Close your eyes, as we witness another bullet ride" You get so down that eventually you can't go any further, have nothing more to lose, then you can let it all go and start living again.

No Picture Richard Wanna Be	#6 by Richard Hunt at Jul 2, 1974 at 6:15 PM EST
	i think asadcw and hal-al are right but there are some really mad riffs. i can play the intro on guitar!!!! i rock! no actually i don't. but guitarists Stromblad and Gellotte do!!!! lol

No Picture fredman Average	#7 by fredman jesu at Sep 2, 1974 at 6:45 PM EST
	Most of In Flames songs deal with everyday feelings, and dealing with them. This song is when you feel like you wana kill your self, i dont believe this is a song about actually killing your self. "It's the cowardice that pulls you under" is the line before killing your self. Bascily it starts out with a series of answeres, then talks about the feeling. Then Says that its cowardice that is hurting.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#8 by spencer mccarthy at Oct 18, 1979 at 12:42 PM EST
	i think it has to do with paranoia, "steps at the door" and "Do you wish to sleep" sounds like a person hiding from the world but whatever, what a great fuckin song, but what do you expect form in flames, they rule/

No Picture Kracrocksteady Wanna Be	#9 by Kracrocksteady at Mar 3, 1983 at 1:32 PM EST
	I kinda think it relates to hostage in a hostage situation, when the captor is threatening to shoot witnesses in order to get ransom... just my thoughts... it cam to me after i was reading a tom clancy op center novel.

No Picture Mªr↓& Average	#10 by Mªr↓ænå Simply at Feb 18, 1988 at 8:42 AM EST
	This is about depression and desperation, feeling at the end of your rope and searching for a way out. Like a soul that wants to live, and is frantically try to find a reason to. Strangely though among this darkness there is a beam of light - 'the world is waiting on your arrival' - ie, whatever it is you want to do or be; GO FOR IT, DON'T LET THE DARKNESS BIND YOU!

No Picture 5 Average	#11 by 5 at Jul 18, 1988 at 1:46 PM EST
	This song is about hating life, because of your own life. The internal struggle to have self-worth and all one can think about is the past and they become a pestimist. The last 2 paragraphs, represent suicide; the bullet takes you to another world, (bullet ride) but one only finds the same situation after they're dead, LIFE THE DARK THAT BINDS YOU.... like the old saying, life is what you make it.

No Picture Dillon Rhythm Player	#12 by Dillon H. at Apr 21, 1991 at 11:38 AM EST
	the opening guitar parts are incredible, this song is ingenious.

No Picture Jonathan Average	#13 by Jonathan Miller at Sep 23, 1993 at 7:53 AM EST
	Another meaning of bullet ride could be a fast time in your life, or some time you really enjoy but went by fast. Now you want to have another great event but it will just take you right back to where you were. This is just another possible meaning. 1

No Picture Chipper Average	#14 by Chipper at Jan 3, 1998 at 10:07 AM EST
	Linkin Park-esque? I don't think so...don't even mention them in a sentence with In Flames...but anyway I think this song is what you've all been saying, only applied to someone who has been in some position of power...a senator or something...the chorus gives me that idea..

No Picture Levi Rhythm Player	#15 by Levi Knoebel at Jul 6, 1999 at 10:08 PM EST
	Yeah, its about suicide. Straight and simple. Bullet through the head.

No Picture Jake Wanna Be	#16 by Jake Stewart at Jun 25, 2002 at 5:26 AM EST
	In this song, the vocalist (Friden) is asking you a series of questions about yourself, such as - "Do you feel anything at all?" "Do you hear steps at the door?" "Do you reckon the smell of...?" "Do you wish to sleep?" "Do you aim for the shadow?" "Do you feel infected" and so forth. And basically, he's saying that if you answer "yes" to these, then it's because the dark binds you, as he clearly says when he states "It's life... the dark that binds you..."
