(Rhythm behind the solo is pretty much the same as that on the Verse marked
above...there are minor variations where he hammers those chords with heavy
palm muting...it's pretty obvious when you listen to it so i won't tab that
out...solo might be a bit off...see if you can't do better...ciao)
This tab is inspired by a fellow named Jason Thornton...cheers mate...hope
you have fun playing it.

| We all know what it is to experience envy. Can we really hold our head up high as we compare ourselves to one with greater appearance, wealth, or social status? When we must stand in a group with these people, how do we stand our ground? Self-esteem is not abundant for some people. Confidence is delicate, and fragile like glass. When we drop it, it shatters into a thousand pieces. | |

| Well, this may be redundant on this page, but in my humble opinion, this is one of the best songs ever written... | |

| This song is a wonderful song! Absolutely love it! The person who brought up the whole New Orleans thing, just blowing crap out of their mouth. All 6 members of the band, were born & raised in Italy, which is where they met in 1991. This according to Cristina herself in an interview. They never lived in LA, & hadn't even really started touring the US until the release of Coma. This also according to Cristina. She says the boys are like her second family, & they fell in love with what she did, & she fell in love with what they did. Want proof, just search on Google, & you'll pull up plenty of interviews. Anyway, back to the song itself, I'd say it could be something about commiting a crime, or being punished for the crime you've committed, but I think again you could look at it in another way. What if the crimes you've committed are against a family member, or a significant other? In that case, they punish you, not the actual justice system. They walk away from you, & then you start thinking back on how you've treated them & what you've done, & start feeling guilty. So the dust she's swallowing could be a metaphor for guilt, hence the "I'm a loser, I'm a loser" which is repeated several times over. In other words, how could I do that? What was I thinking? I'm such a loser! Less dark, but I do agree with others that it could be about suicide, the Razor blade" comment to. Or then again, the razor blade could be a metaphor for the guilt, or the sadness you feel when you betray someone. It cuts into your heart & soul if your truly remorseful for what you've done, so the razor blade is a good metaphor. | |

| Wow!!!!! I love Acetica's interpretations of Lacuna Coil's music. She really grasps their true meanings. I truly love this band and their music. Their songs are all so touching and moving:) | |

| Yes, that is correct. All traces of the existence of the original guitarist have been removed. He misjudged the work he helped create, because he honestly thought that this project could only be successful in Europe (in the vein of bands like The Gathering and Nightwish); but the breakthrough of Evanescence saw an increased interest in Lacuna Coil's music. Also, you have to understand that he was a deeply spiritual man. So rather than engage in vindictive behavior - which he deemed reprehensible - or fight a long court battle over the rights to the music, he simply gave them up. That would be the reason he is never mentioned in print or by the band, but again, I reiterate, that's if you believe what I'm telling you. I know this is hard for you precious Lacuna Coil fans to imagine but Cristina tried to rule that band with an iron fist from the start. The first band break up probably taught her that it was better to back off, and that team work helps a band to stay together for more than five years. And as a side note, had the band's original lineup remained in place you'd be looking at a vastly multicultural lineup, because that original lead guitarist was an African-American. But this is all neither here nor there, and far too much for all of you to digest. So, I’ll shut up now and let you decide what you believe (at least until somebody makes another smartass comment suggesting that I’m making this up to fuck with people or for attention). | |

| what i know of them is totally different jmb2440. The history that I know is that coti and andy where skateboarding one day, but it started raining and out of boredom they decided to form a band. Coti on guitar and andy singing and playing bass. later they got those 2 guitarists you are probably talking about; Raffaele Zagaria and Claudio Leo, so andy could concentrate on singing and coti could play bass. They later got cristina (worked in a bar where she met coti before joining lacuna) They had the name ethereal, but due to copyright infringements, they had to change it to lacuna coil(empty spiral). Only reason they kicked those guys out was because they wanted to go a different musical direction. Like falling…..with no heavy riffs…..pretty acoustical….the way the original band wanted it. That is the actual reason they remade that song……so they could play it the way they wanted(falling again) I have no clue where you are coming with this huge conspiracy of yours and it really doesn’t make any sense. if you want us to believe you theory jmb2440, at least try to make it sound believable. i must say, you have a pretty cute imagination though.......lol | |
