	I think its about someone that looks for love on the surface. And by surface I mean, what they see physically. Pretty Blunt.

No Picture Turd Fergeson Lead Player	#2 by Turd Fergeson Fergeson at Oct 9, 2007 at 9:21 AM EST
	I think the song is about, quite obviously as others have said, someone who only looks for love based on looks. The line "So fill and empty space with another pretty face" suggests that when a relationship ends, they just go straight for another looker to fill the space. To the person who posted the lyrics - Learn the difference between "you're" and "your", it's annoying to find lyrics with such mistakes. It's "exception" not "acception". It's "only scratching the surface", not "always" in the chorus. I probably sound picky and harsh here, but I don't intend to be. Either way, this song is brilliant, along with the majority of Trapt's stuff.

	I'm not sure what this song means. From my undersatnding, it is about someone trying to find their religon, but I could be worng. Good song.

	It's quite clear it's about someone who looks for "love" strictly by physical characteristics. If someone isn't good-looking then they go, turn over another page. With my short experience with rock writing, I bet that the object of the song is a girl one of them knew and wanted to go out with but she always turned them down because they weren't hunks.
