No Picture Tavo Wanna Be	#1 by Tavo at Oct 1, 1971 at 5:38 PM EST
	dude they are not from cinnci they are from cleveland omg haha jk

No Picture Lead Player	#2 by Michael Leathers at Nov 11, 1975 at 8:14 AM EST
	does this band has a site?

No Picture ben Rhythm Player	#3 by ben kurkul at Jun 29, 1978 at 5:27 PM EST
	i dont think this song was written about a girl in particular. many artists nowadays create music with the idea that other ppl are going to hear it. the song describes a desperate, deep feeling of loneliness and the seemingly pointless act of fulfilling desire. fyi- 216? 6x6x6!

No Picture Braxton Lead Player	#4 by Braxton Overby at Dec 10, 1980 at 3:49 AM EST
	lol...look at all these losers listening to mushroomhead...they were almost worse the first time i heard them when they were called slipknot!!! i can scream my head off into a microphone, give me a record deal, too!!!

No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#5 by Razzle jester at Mar 2, 1981 at 11:37 PM EST
	The hands bound song is about loving a girl but feeling powerless to act on the feelings. As for the reference in Before I Die, sounds like he's regretting inaction or taking a wrong course of action with her. Nothings part seems to constantly speak of deprivation of all sorts; don't give me, empty without it, all that I have never had. What he's talking about is probably something only he will know.

No Picture sephiroth Average	#6 by sephiroth at Feb 14, 1986 at 4:32 PM EST
	JMann AKA Jason Popson the singer with the lower voice, the first voice heard of this song gives an obscuree reference to the bad he originaly came from - (216) "I saw her last in a dream she seems to astound heard of her first third verse (216) hands bound" (216) was a four peice from Ohio (Also the area code for Cincinnati, Ohio the home town of (216) and Mushroomhead.) that released an independant CD and contained a song called "Hands Bound" I am nowhere near about to attempt decyphering these lyrics, however here are the lyrics to the thrid verse of "Hands Bound" so you all can make your own personal assumption. "BLUE GREY GREEN I CAN FEEL HER EYES ON ME IT TEARS ME APART THIS VENGEANT HEART THIRSTS FOR LOVE LIVED THROUGH ART BOTH SIDES OF THE SWORD SPLINTERED ID WALK FOR MILES TO TASTE YOUR SMILE THESE EYES SEE THROUGH DENIAL TURN OF A DIAL STATIC SINGS IT TEARS ME APART THIS VENGEANT HEART THIRSTS FOR LOVE LIVED THROUGH ART BOTH SIDES OF THE SWORD SPLINTERED ID WALK FOR MILES TO TASTE YOUR SMILE THESE EYES TURN OF A DIAL STATIC" I myself don't know what to think even after reading that...I sure as hell hope somone selse does.

	Dashboard Confessional?

No Picture Wacko Average	#8 by Wacko Jacko at Nov 22, 1989 at 10:39 PM EST
	It is about a girl....look back with resentment as i find myself all alone....he screwed up...blue grey green eyes...come on now

No Picture guitar girl Rhythm Player	#9 by guitar girl 13 at Apr 22, 1990 at 5:03 PM EST
	umm less than jason... my god, how retarded? I used to listen to ltj but then they got lame. guess what I listen to now?

No Picture Flappy Average	#10 by Flappy Bob at May 25, 2000 at 6:00 AM EST
	lessthanjason is a fucking cheap ass rip-off of the band "less than jake". If you listen to that cheap wanna-be emo shit then you might as well kill yourself. mushroomhead kicks ass, you just dont have the intellect to understand them....

No Picture More Cowbell Lead Player	#11 by More Cowbell at Apr 13, 2003 at 10:36 PM EST
	(216) is cleveland, not cincinnatti. Yeah.

No Picture gabby Professional	#12 by gabby at Jun 25, 2003 at 5:03 AM EST
	to me it means not doing things when you had the chance to do them...like someone before said "loving a girl but being powerless to act." i dont think the song is JUST about loving a girl...i think it's about life in general, and not making the most of it.
