Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture That One Guy Musical Genius	#1 by That One Guy at Jan 8, 1993 at 3:46 AM EST
	Most of you will think but i'm crazy, but here's my take on it: The Narrator is the devil himself, and he says that he does not really need us, he will just screw us over.

No Picture IvZ Average	#2 by IvZ at Nov 9, 1999 at 5:20 AM EST
	I think this is something about a machine that takes lives and souls. I can't really put my finger on a deeper meaning. Either way, it's a great song.

No Picture Your account ha Average	#3 by Your account has been hacked into by Bkid23 Stupid.... at Apr 17, 2005 at 2:42 PM EST
	Sounds to me like an industrialized Hell, whereas the song portrays Satan as taking the souls of sinners in order to rise from the abyss God has cast him into for eternity.
