No Picture Mikel Average	#1 by Mikel A. at Oct 1, 2007 at 2:15 PM EST
	Its a song about one of his old girlfriends friends, he was always "just a friend" and one night he came onto her and raped her, basically telling the guy hes going to kill him

No Picture Alex Lead Player	#2 by Alex at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:42 AM EST
	This song kicks fucking ass.

No Picture health risk Average	#3 by health risk at Oct 8, 2007 at 5:14 AM EST
	basic hate song. if you fuck with my life, i fuck with yours

No Picture Ashley Rhythm Player	#4 by Ashley 666 at Oct 10, 2007 at 2:30 PM EST
	Demonnfury is talking out of his ass

No Picture Crystal Average	#5 by Crystal at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:39 PM EST
	1st * :built up inside 2nd * :A Skullfuck I dont know the 3rd * but in that stanza, the last three lines are "Still your jealousy reseeds you, Your really in love with all that i do"

No Picture Jordan Average	#6 by Jordan S. at Oct 12, 2007 at 4:55 PM EST
	one of my favs from the new album.

No Picture Håvard Average	#7 by Håvard Banne at Oct 17, 2007 at 2:02 PM EST
	great song! one of the best song in the album

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#8 by Austin Skitowski at Oct 19, 2007 at 12:29 PM EST
	as for the song, it is basically written to the Trivium haters out there. Don't mess with Trivium, you'll probably get skullfucked and every bone in your face broken. this song really kicks ass. When you threaten another person's family like that ("If you mess with my life I'll mess with your blood"), you have to be a true badass, and thats exactly what Matt Heafy is. After a kickass song, he busts out some sweet vocals out of nowhere when he sings "Deceptions." that was so cool when i heard that.

No Picture Kornowski - Wanna Be	#9 by Kornowski - Im не русский, Бог Черт возьми! at Oct 20, 2007 at 12:37 AM EST
	I think this is their best song in term of solos, especially the one that sounds like a complete rip-off of "The Thing that Should Not Be". Awesome.

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#10 by Elizabeth Greer at Oct 20, 2007 at 2:32 PM EST
	here's the actual lyrics: You hide behind the barricades Built of facades, you think you're safe But someday we all find you Come to where you work And fucking tie you Every lie Shoved back Down your throat By our hands A skull fuck For every word Just try to breathe Don't fuck with this (chorus) Break every bone in your face If you mess with my life (mess with our life) I'll mess your blood Bury you in a coffin made of your A coffin made of your deceiptions Obsess as each second fades In denial of your mind made Still your jealousy precedes you You're really in love With all that I do This is to the rats And your conscience still tears at you You secretly Want to be just like me
