No Picture Katie Wanna Be	#1 by Katie St. Michel at Dec 16, 1970 at 10:18 AM EST
	crazy bass good song

No Picture Devin Average	#2 by Devin Moreno at Jul 30, 1975 at 1:48 AM EST
	This song so obviously involves a child (boy/girl) that was brought into the world of child sexual abuse at a young age. and then during this. she some how during one of these sessions god fatially brutilised, most likly died. to this child. sex was an outlet. or all the child knew. "place to make things ok" could be putting something into the sexual organ. it does release brain chemicals of happieness during that act. but in summery. its all about sexual abuse on children.

No Picture Secondhand Smok Wanna Be	#3 by Secondhand Smoka at Oct 11, 1975 at 9:20 AM EST
	Good song, excellent instument playing (all instruments). It seems like it's about looking back at some good/safe times, because they say "that place you would go to take the pain away" and "that place you would go to make it all okay". It's kind of about finding you're "happy place", the meaning is kind of hard to describe but I basically know it.

No Picture Mike Average	#5 by Mike at Feb 7, 1979 at 4:08 PM EST
	i think it's about a child's happy place where he or she feels safe. they go there to feel better. then life takes its course and robs them of it. and it's missing ur happy place.

No Picture justin Average	#6 by justin tompkins at May 2, 1987 at 3:01 AM EST
	I think it's about a stalker that goes after little kids. Skrying I think is looking at someone and them not being aware, its a fantasy term. Maybe more of a parent that does it to their children, since they have the best access to watch a kid in their bedrooms. During their harassment, the child would go to their happy place, whatever it is in their imagination, i.e. - a fort you could only enter with a "secret knock" or that they'd have other kids pay a nickel to enter. Just my thoughts.

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#7 by Christian Chavez at Jul 6, 1991 at 5:41 AM EST
	Why is it a scary song?

No Picture eric Rhythm Player	#8 by eric christian at Mar 20, 1992 at 4:21 AM EST
	I agree with StealMyCan, I'm pretty sure it's about sex. From what I've found skrying is some sort of ritual or something to get rid of 'demons' and depression or some crap like that. I think the song is about how sex was his way of skrying. If you listen to the lyrics closely a lot actually relate to sex in a hidden way.

No Picture Micke Lead Player	#10 by Micke Nordin at Sep 26, 2007 at 2:14 AM EST
	what the helll doz this song mean? lol..i love it, but i dnt get it

No Picture Mauro Wanna Be	#11 by Mauro Leon at Sep 29, 2007 at 12:00 AM EST
	Actually you're all wrong....The End of All Things to Come is an astrology concept album....hence all the zodiac symbols....This song in particular is the one for Scorpio's....check it out on wikipedia.org if you have doubts....In my opinion it has a drug type reference...."cauterize and force the sword"..as in heating up the syring and injecting whatever..."Learning the secret knock, a nickel to enter that place.."...could be refering to the knock to enter a drug house with a nickel bag of your drug of choice..."children wrestle to seal the bag and storing deep in that place"...the kids don't want to get caught with it so they hide it...."do you remember the bedroom, was it your cell or was it your tomb".....could be about how most people lock themselves in their room for awhile and stay secluded because they're so deep into drugs......I also know that skrying is a type of ritual....so it could be about doing rituals while on drugs.....or he's the dealer watching his junkies....i mean read the lyrics..just my opinion.....

No Picture Randy Wanna Be	#12 by Randy Burden at Oct 2, 2007 at 9:31 AM EST
	Actually...musically this album is far superior to LD50. A lot more thought went into it. More complicated riffs and drum parts.

No Picture Senour Average	#13 by Senour Dakota at Oct 10, 2007 at 3:20 PM EST
	this song is best one off the new album.It has a great bass line,but it still blows compared to LD50 et al.

No Picture Spymaster Lead Player	#14 by Spymaster - Halo 2 at Oct 14, 2007 at 6:12 PM EST
	It looks like I am able to make a small comparison. Since many suggest that Skrying is about a place where you can hide from bad things, I think that the characteristic of self-containment for Scorpio fits with that.
