Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Joonas Wanna Be	#1 by Joonas Luukkainen at Jul 8, 1977 at 3:05 AM EST
	song is about the consequences after he was abused as a child,and the pain he grew up with, that's turning into pure rage and will of revenge. The following song-Deafening silence,is kind of a continuation of trephanation,and it's again about the pain.

No Picture Jaime Average	#2 by Jaime at Sep 25, 1982 at 4:09 PM EST
	Lol.. I saw something on TV (I think the discovery channel) the other day that was all about trephination (drilling holes into people's heads)

	Song's about how he was molested as a child, and how he's been trying to figure out what's wrong with him. He realizes though that nothing's wrong with him, and that the man that molested him was wrong.

	a trephine is a sergical drill used to drill through the skull n flyn is wanting to drill into head to get rid of at the fuked up shit in his head... like guiffporn sed.

No Picture Brandon Average	#7 by Brandon Weathers at Feb 29, 2000 at 9:47 AM EST
	I think Robb Flynn is talking about trephination in terms of wanting to let out his rage inside him, from being abandoned at birth and getting into all kinds of bad shit growing up, and if literally drilling into his own head to do it is the only way to get rid of the bad part of him then so be it...
