No Picture Francis Average	#1 by Francis Delongchamp at Nov 28, 2006 at 9:57 AM EST
	This is the only song recorded after "Justice" that doesnt make me want to vomit. It has a couple of good changes, and Hammitt laid off the fucking Wah pedal for a second, reminds me of the good old days.

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#2 by Jeremy Dosser at Jan 3, 2007 at 2:24 AM EST
	I think this song about dealing with an addiction, perhaps an alochol addiction considering that Metallia was once called Alochollica.

No Picture wrath Average	#3 by wrath child at Jan 29, 2007 at 12:46 PM EST
	I think it's just about how everyone, even against everyone else, has themselves to look to... that, and this song is awesome

No Picture Lyssa CHAOS Average	#4 by Lyssa CHAOS at Jun 20, 2007 at 9:37 PM EST
	NO!!! It doesn't have to about Satan, it could be anybody that you let run your life: a boss, a co-worker, anybody. So untill the authenticity of Satan is proved I'm sticking with my opinion!

No Picture Francis Average	#5 by Francis Delongchamp at Aug 8, 2007 at 7:23 PM EST
	I think that this song is about the devil and how he really controls us. althoght we have a choice to ignore him, we normally don't. i get this main idea from the verse "you're my mask you're my cover, my shelter you you're my mask you're the one who's blamed do do my work do my dirty work, scapegoat do do my deeds for you're the one who's shamed"

No Picture bob Average	#6 by bob fred at Oct 11, 2007 at 12:38 AM EST
	Do you know Tyler Durden? The thing that struck me about this song was the similarities to Fight Club. Consider the lines "you you're my mask you're the one who's blamed" In fight club, everything tyler did, "jack" took the blame for "I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when you can't feel sad but true I'm your dream, mind astray I'm your eyes while you're away I'm your pain while you repay you know it's sad but true" When "Jack" slept, Tyler controlled his body. His eyes while he was away, dream mind astray and pain when he couldnt feel You think?
