Once an artist releases music their interpretation of their work is as valid as the listeners. This song is about whatever you want it to be about and no one, not even Alkaline Trio, can say you're wrong. Art is subjective.
personally i feel this song is about life. people often make bad decisions and get burned by them, then the people almost never learn from their mistakes and therfore keep getting burned.
@lacunalunacy matt and derek have stated many times that they are members of the church of satan, and matt has stated that he was raised atheist. i highly doubt the lyrics are about struggling with christian faith.
The whole point of a lot of their songs is that they arent satanic. Their lyrics talk frequently about struggling with their faith as christians. Many of their songs are actually written in the form of addresses to God.
This sounds like 'you' are in hell and have to call it home.
really hope these guys would.'t be satanic, I mean, even if I wasn't christian, the vibe they give off is really disenchanting.Not talking about the dress , just kind've hindering But, the music is amazing, definitely made great albums
kk, coming from a christian perspective, this reaaaaally sounds like where you go hell in and out burning, and you call it home. Realistically, you can't escape hell so that is how i take it. And also you are trying to fight it but can't.
Take music and make it your own, that is what I think.
@dreq2013 It's a more lyrical song I imagine, that they were focusing on. personally don't care for it either, but it's not gay, it's just a more mellow song. You win some you lose some.
i havent heard this in years... and yet everytime i hear that last bit " As we burn, pretending to fight it Everyone learns faster on fire Things took a turn, lost all desire You live and you burn You live and Like hell, we are anxiously waiting Like hell burning silently strong Somehow we fell down by the wayside And somehow this hell is home"
iim into heavy metal...death metal....metal core...crazy shit...this song lik touched me...u guys/girls can interprut it anyway u want...it just kinda shows me how fucked up life can or maybe even my life is... i love this song...it touched me.. that soounds cheesy and possibly gay...but no
@grisslebone I can relate as well. This song helped me pull myself out of depression. If you were to check my iTunes it says... 2837 for number of times played. No joke.
@blinx2008 Meth, isn't the only thing that causes insomnia. I'm not saying it's not about meth, the meaning is different dependent on the listener's experience, but using examples of insomnia to prove it's about meth is a tad, presumptuous.
