	I've been listening to this song constantly. It's so great. I love how he switches the chorus in the end from "This is the world coming down on my head" to "I was the world coming down on your head." Definately powerful. Love it.

	wow i suck at typing. Its basically about someone frustrated with what the world is (or more specifially, isn't) giving him.**

	Pretty amazing song. Probably my favorite of the new cd, except for lights and sounds and I belieive the title is Martin Sheen or JFK, I'm not sure. Grey is pretty great to. Props to Yellowcard for another CD Spectacular

	Yesterday I was in Jail because my neighbour asked me for the phone number of the person who is renting the apartment cause his key was inside of his apartament. I openened the door, it was 2 am and answer back I didnt have the damn number. Suddenly, a friend of my neighbour hit me in the face at the time he was saying ¨don´t ever talk like that to my friend¨. I catched my breath and then I started to fight him back...I told him ¨you fight like a faggot¨ and he got more angry. Then the police came and catched us and put us in jail for disturbance in the streets. When I was in jail I remembered this song and I started to sing it loud inside of my head cuz each part of it I felt identify with. I worked all night the last night. I was all alone. I missed home. I was watching the time flies by felling with doubts about my integrity (I was surrounded by junkies in jail) I was sleeping like a dog. The mexican legal system sucks...the world was coming down on my head! And I was wondering all the time ¨when it all end?¨ I was four hours for defending myself and I got fined. Finally I got out...but seriously people, Monterrey city is evil (and the rest of this damn poor country) so never visit Mexico. Peace.

	Lyrics are wrong! anyway my fav line in this song is "I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed" =)

No Picture Shotgun Average	#8 by Shotgun Joe at Oct 15, 2007 at 3:37 AM EST
	What bothers me about this song is how the rhyme scheme is SO predictable. "Head, bed, said, dead"... Who saw THAT one coming?

No Picture Spymaster Lead Player	#9 by Spymaster - Halo 2 at Oct 16, 2007 at 3:47 AM EST
	hmmm..how do ya'll get the idea that it's about manic depression??? I think it's more about realizing how the real world works..and seeing what is has done for you or hasn't done for you..and coping, day by day, with the different situations that life has in store for you.
