As theotherness mentioned this song is dedicated to all Soilwork Fans. The song is about the appreciation that people have for music, and how no matter what they go through, music will always help them overcome it. "Bleeding, aching, bleeding, aching bleeding for nothing for we've seen it all" = In the end, everyone goes through the same thing but there is no point in doing something stupid like commiting suicide or hurting another person because you are only going to hurting yourself. Song of the damned is just a realistic point of view of life. The hell that some people have to go through is a tragic thing and Soilwork are making a statement that their music will always be there, no matter how many people listen to them or not.

Obviously, this song is a tribute to "the damned" - Soilwork fans all over the world. Sort of a big "thank you." YOU'RE WELCOME!

I agree with Undignifiedromance. It is a realistc, "no-bullshit" point of view on life. "Cause we're only listening with one ear now" - A metaphor for life. Listening with one ear symbolises living "half heartedly" or on the edge. "Live for the moment, get killed for the thrill." This is saying how people must live life for what it is and not do anything stupid. And going right back to the start of these comments, I agree with theotherness; this is a tribute to the fans of Soilwork and it is letting those fans know how Soilwork will always be there, with its music, to remind people how important life is.

By the power invested in me by God and his many clones, I pronounce that this song rules. YAY!
