Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture kyle Rhythm Player	#1 by kyle perry at Oct 11, 1997 at 5:14 PM EST
	This song is amazing. Lajon's voice is great, and it sounds fantastic live. I think the song is about struggling with your inner demon's. Trying to stay clean in life, and do the right thing. Fighting temptations and all that. It's about realizing that you're worth more than what bad things like drug's and what not can do to you.

No Picture edwin Wanna Be	#2 by edwin henrriquez at May 30, 2002 at 12:48 AM EST
	i love the song, havnt really tried to analyze it though

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#3 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Mar 8, 2003 at 7:47 AM EST
	I think it's about someone who's life are very hard but he knows death ain't the way out.
