Send me any corrections or improvements that you may find.
Mainly chords at the minute I'm still working on the lead riffs.
Not sure about some of the chords names so I'll give them numbers instead.

Another scar that you conceal

From sight

That's it, you'll have to listen to the song to figure out the strumming pattern, I'll
post the lead riffs as soon as I have them. I'm also currently working on bruise, also
by oleander which I shall post shortly.

No Picture R.I.P Dimebag D Professional	#1 by R.I.P Dimebag Darrell at Dec 7, 1973 at 8:45 AM EST
	This is a beautiful song. You can very well hear the sympathy with the kids who go and make big, unchangable mistakes.

	The music of this song says alot about its theme, as well. The theme behind this song is how the consequences of your inactions or choices, however small they may seem at first, can build up, more and more and more until they overwhelm and overtake you and your life. The song starts out with a simple guitar playing a few chords, seemingly quiet and innocent. Then throughout the song, the music builds up and builds up, louder and louder; much like how a tidal wave starts out tiny and builds to an overwhelming destructive monster. That one time you didn't talk to your lonely friend (and he ends up committing suicide), or you decided to try drugs just once (and you end up spiraling down into a deep and painful addiction), or you miss class once (and end up doing it habitually, destroying your college career)? These kind of moments are what Oleander's "Runaway Train" are all about - how these seemingly tiny and innoculous choices you make can set off a tidal wave that will slowly but surely overwhelm you and your life, leaving you wondering where you went wrong and how you can ever go back. Just listen to the song - not the lyrics, just the music. Quiet and unassuming at first, and it ends up becoming a loud, wailing monster towards the end. I'm surprised there haven't been more comments on this song.

	actually i think this song has its meaning better found in the movie its in. its more about how sometimes you are being so beat up and abused u want it to change drastically but once u see some of the changes you will want it back but then try and change again hopefully for better if possible

	This is a magnificent song. Couldn't fit another word with it. I love jimboa18's comment. Especially the end where he writes about how the music sets up the whole mood in the song. It is very true. The song itself almost made me cry the first time I heard it. It's very emotionally heavy. You can feel it. It's an amazing song. :3
