2x's
I vow, lest I die tomorrow, tommorow...we're fuckin you back
-riff #3 is played throughout rest of song, all notes besides open E's are
1/4 step up, you can get the same effect by pushing the bridge down with
your palm, that is if you have a floyd rose type system, when played right
this riff kicks ass
-note during the 2nd verse the E power chords alternate the vocals
(opposite riff #2)
-all riffs are here, order changes a little

| It sounds like it's about Phil's abusive father, he puts so much emotion and feeling into it. | |

| Yeah..well in this song Phil is shoving it in his father's face that he actually became someone. Someone that other people who were shit on like he was look up to. We're fucking you back!!! | |

| i as well grew up withoutmy father and am bitter and question why he was never there. this song means to me a source of revenge, for so many years i have been angery and now am 26 and am so filled with hate toward my father. the day i become a father, i will fuck him back by not being the person he was to me. this song even tho its filled with rage relaxes me. | |

| For a long time, I hated my father, because I never knew him. I've gotten to know him a lot in the past couple years, and we have a good relationship now. But, this song has always meant a lot to me for that reason. | |

| I agree with shan_cfh on the meaning. Phil has never said much about his early life, but he burned his parents' house down and went to live on the streets when he was 15. Doesn't seem like he liked his father too much. Marquez, dude, you should listen to it, it's a great song, it's a shame it's so under-rated. | |

| I can somehow relate to these lyrics, though I must be honest I've never listened to that song. | |

| Even though I love my father anybody can hear the pain in Phil's painful voice.At least Phil is becoming more than his father ever was. | |
