| It's about making your own opinions and not relying on others to think for you. He sees people falling to the abusive thoughts of others and chooses to rise above that which tries to bring him down. | |

| i god damn love this song, it's by far my favourite machine head track, and i'm a big fan of their stuff. i really wanna know what it's about, as far as i can tell, it's about one man standing up for his beliefs against some sort of oppressor, like a dictator or something, but i could be completely wrong. | |

| I know some members hate it when people come here and say "I love this song"... but fuck it. I LOVE THIS SONG. Machine Head at their very, very, very best. I have no idea what it is about, it's not too cryptic but I don't care to decode. I take it for what it is and I like it just fine thank you very much. | |
