| My feel on the song is the internal war with yourself and the feel to keep your head right. But with some lines and of course the title, still beats your name , you wander if its about the love for another and holding on? I go more for the first one but the 2nd could be legit too. | |

| Songs like make me realize how much I love Killswitch. I love how they can write songs that can appeal to different groups of people. Personally, as a Christian, I have taken so many positive messages from this band and I can't wait to see them live soon! | |
