No Picture Carly Average	#1 by Carly at Apr 25, 1979 at 2:48 AM EST
	METALMACHINE put it perfectly to me... the verses are about "FEAR" waiting to take hold of you when your vulnerable

No Picture Matt Average	#3 by Matt at May 22, 1991 at 8:58 PM EST
	this song is wierd, in meaning. it seems as if he loves torturing his prey, or whatever, but actually, he feels bad about it or doesnt want to torture him(maybe he is being forced to do so?), and hopes for his prey to not die. that is y he says "survive this" and stuff like that

No Picture Jordan Wanna Be	#4 by Jordan Ivory-Marcotte at Feb 13, 1998 at 6:37 PM EST
	Well, like a lot of songs, this one could possibly be to do with a drug addiction taking over. To me, it definately sounds like it's being written from the point of view of something that is taking over another one's life. It may be drug addiction, or it may be something else taking over. But I'd definately say the song is about having your life taken over.

No Picture $~Andrew~$ Average	#5 by $~Andrew~$ at Sep 29, 2007 at 12:15 PM EST
	The songs about FEAR. "So know my name What is my name? My name is FEAR and I'm you" It say that all our fears are just products of ourselves or just in your head. You have to fight against these fears in your life and if they win it's your DOWNFALL.
