Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture kevin Rhythm Player	#1 by kevin jeung at May 30, 1972 at 4:42 AM EST
	I absolutely love this song. The lyrics are simple, yet beautiful. Like many, I can relate well to this song. It expresses his deep loneliness and inability to truely connect with anyone. Hes desperately crying out to be noticed, to be saved from his sadness and isolation. I love this song....

No Picture Brian Average	#2 by Brian Dempsey at Jul 13, 1973 at 1:40 AM EST
	yeah this song is soo true in my life everytime you feel ok after a recent breakup it just comes back to kick you in the neck and your back to where you started from where i hurts

No Picture Josh Lead Player	#3 by Josh Ripley at Jul 4, 1974 at 5:13 PM EST
	i broke up with my girl and as a result i drowned my sorrows, for a long time i felt terribe. hearing this song brought me back down and i realised what i was doing to myself. Machine Head saved me...

No Picture Anthony Average	#4 by Anthony at Feb 9, 1975 at 10:12 AM EST
	Even though I didn't caer for Supercharger too much, I thought this song was well done. A nice emotional song, that alot of people can relate too.

No Picture Senour Average	#5 by Senour Dakota at Mar 16, 1978 at 1:40 PM EST
	memories are there to learn from, memories about people who died are here to let them live in your heart. But that's it, I like the pantera way much better; yesterday don't mean shit, whats over is over and nothing between. the song sounds beautiful though, but the lyrics has no message to me.

No Picture batman Average	#6 by batman chum at Oct 3, 1981 at 8:36 AM EST
	yeah nothingness is the right word i guess... but you don´t even have to loose something important... If you are feeling the silence he sings about you have already lost an important part of youself. The trust in life, the trust maybe in god and the trust in yourself... It´s horrible to feel this way...It seems to start over and over and over again...You can´t get out of it, because it´s already inside you destroying everything that kept you alive...

	yeah this song is soo true in my life everytime you feel ok after a recent breakup it just comes back to kick you in the neck and your back to where you started from where i hurts

No Picture Dakota Lead Player	#9 by Dakota Sparks at Jun 2, 1986 at 1:32 AM EST
	thank you robb for writing this song. it said everything that i couldn't bring myself to say to . . myself. it's the epitome of whats going on with me anyway you guys dont care, i'm just taking up space Stay Metal And Keep It Real \m/

No Picture Jesus Professional	#10 by Jesus at Jul 17, 1988 at 7:05 PM EST
	Slow, emotional, and amazing describes this song pretty well. Although, I don't think it's quite as good as The Burning Red (the song that is).

No Picture kyle Badass	#11 by kyle .,., at Aug 31, 1992 at 7:50 AM EST
	It's about that nothingness you feel inside after losing something very important to, and how sometimes when you think you've moved on it comes back to haunt you again.

No Picture Forrest Average	#12 by Forrest at Aug 20, 1993 at 6:21 AM EST

No Picture Andrew Rhythm Player	#13 by Andrew Clayton at Jun 15, 2002 at 7:39 PM EST
	I think this song is about a guy who is depressed and everyone can tell altho he tries to hide it. He wants help but does not want people to look down on him. This is definatly what i have been feeling for the past few weeks and i can really relate to this song.

No Picture Beaver Average	#14 by Beaver Butt at Apr 25, 2005 at 5:13 AM EST
	i see this song as a continuation of " trephination ". i think in that song, he goes through his life since the time period of his molestation and this song is really how he's doing now as a grown adult. and how he's tried to move on, but he can't forget it at all. i think in a way this album is all about rob's life... wicked album, wicked band.
