No Picture Christina Average	#1 by Christina Anderson at Jun 17, 2006 at 11:53 PM EST
	From a chat with Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte at a swedish newspapers homepage: Swallow the Sun säger: Tjenare. Jag gillar er nya video m/ Men vad är det ni vill säga med den? Något ang. självmord? In Flames säger: snarare tvärtom - ta vara på det du har innan det är försent Translated it would mean something like: Swallow the Sun says: Hi. I like your new video, but what do you want to say with it? Something about suicide? In Flames says: Rather the oposite, take care of what you have before its too late

No Picture Mike Average	#2 by Mike heidkamp at Aug 18, 2006 at 12:44 AM EST
	seams like this song is about suicide but if you watch the video it shows people thinking of or almost commiting suicide but at the end of the video they all back off on their plans. So maybe the meaning is about giving hope for better days.

No Picture Tim Average	#3 by Tim Zichy-Woinarski at Sep 19, 2006 at 11:15 PM EST
	I think it's a bit irresponsible to be posting Come Clarity lyrics already, but I took the time listen to the album and copy down the lyrics, taking time to make sure they were correct as possible. "When it comes down to victory within me" is actually something more like "When the raindrops expect to hit me." More of these lyrics are wrong, but I don't have sufficient corrections.

No Picture Mauricio Wanna Be	#4 by Mauricio Tonon at Oct 25, 2006 at 11:50 PM EST
	I want to add that parts like "Make me understand you're there for me" and "breathe me in" also have to do with what I said before.

No Picture Andy Wanna Be	#5 by Andy at Dec 5, 2006 at 3:17 PM EST
	RagingLunatix is right and p.s. guys on google video theres a video of them playing this song live and they do an unbelievable job just search up "in flames" theres also a video of me playing the satellites and astronauts solo :)

No Picture stone Average	#6 by stone sucks, at Feb 10, 2007 at 9:52 AM EST
	i disagree i think the lyrics on the page are correct and i agree with Akraz. But also on the whole this song is awesome, different soudn from some of their other songs but its a great song. Still have to listen to the rest of the songs tho

No Picture caleb Wanna Be	#7 by caleb at Feb 12, 2007 at 4:19 AM EST
	Some1 should fix the lyrics then?!?! "Burn my efforts in the end it means nothing."hehe i like that line too it could also lead to the thing im talking about,but ive preached enough,u get the point what this song sings to me about.....peace,out

No Picture mike Rhythm Player	#8 by mike guerino at Apr 19, 2007 at 8:15 PM EST
	OMG! I just love this song (That OMG Was kinda gay. =\|) Anyways I agree with RagingLunatix... IN FLAMES WE TRUST! \m/ o_O \m/ 1 2 Next

No Picture Wacko Average	#9 by Wacko Jacko at Jun 2, 2007 at 7:09 AM EST
	definetly about person wanting to grow in spirituality. im not gonna say its christian,becauze they never wrote anything like that before ,but lyrics like "Burn my house until I end up with nothing"is totaly christian - die/burn his material security so he could relay only on his faith "When it comes down to victory within me I know that we're in for days"he knows that the fight isnt gonna be the easyone- "Whittle me down to pieces"kill all my pride selfishnes,so your love could enter in my heart "Make me understand you're there for me"message is realy clear in this one. Thats my way of seeing this song

No Picture DEMENTED KID Average	#10 by DEMENTED KID at Jun 26, 2007 at 6:35 PM EST
	TrentNIN, you're reading the wrong lyrics. Virtually all of that is incorrect.

No Picture Jesus Professional	#11 by Jesus at Sep 27, 2007 at 1:14 PM EST
	I love the new album. :bowdown:

No Picture † fatass Average	#12 by † fatass † at Sep 28, 2007 at 11:11 PM EST
	i agree with slash13, i know in flames isn's christian or anything like that, but this song does seem to have a calling for help from someone up above. i believe a few of the other songs off of come clarity have the same thing. also the title "come clarity" could have a similar meaning, in that many people believe their life cleared up for them when they find a supreme being.

No Picture joe Average	#13 by joe barker at Oct 1, 2007 at 8:48 PM EST
	Wow, awsome song and now a video to go with it

No Picture Blades Average	#14 by Blades at Oct 2, 2007 at 4:28 AM EST
	Yea, it is rained, my bad

No Picture Ian Lead Player	#15 by Ian Kien at Oct 3, 2007 at 3:08 PM EST
	oops raginglunatix its rained not ruined.. Why now? Haven't rained for days.

No Picture Davy Average	#16 by Davy at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:19 PM EST
	I think this song is about reaching to God when you're on the verge of something like suicide. In the video, I think it looks more like the people are looking up and making a gesture that signifies the name of the song: TAKE THIS LIFE. I think the people in the video are reaching out to God to save them, because it's their only hope.

No Picture Andy Average	#17 by Andy Quinton at Oct 6, 2007 at 5:46 AM EST
	yes definately about calling for help from someone who claims that he's there for you. obviously this concept can be easily applied to 'god'

No Picture Matt Average	#18 by Matt Cyr at Oct 6, 2007 at 10:15 PM EST
	Another song about Suicide??
