Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture tristan Rhythm Player	#1 by tristan drew at Oct 7, 2007 at 2:21 PM EST
	nope....nope nope nope....there is hardly any hatred like that in shadows fall lyrics, as brian is very spirtiual and into meditation.. he said somethin about some of the songs on art of balance being about meditation, so maybe its about finding the harmony within

No Picture Fat Man Goz Lead Player	#2 by Fat Man Goz at Oct 11, 2007 at 7:54 AM EST
	This song seems to be very dark and melancholy, but the title is about meditation and Shadows Fall said that the album was about the balance between melody and aggression (this being an example of one of their slower songs).

No Picture calvin Wanna Be	#3 by calvin maynard at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:37 AM EST
	i think its abut this guy who keeps everything inside and someone tries to upset ihs "balance" and messes everything up "internal suicide"
