Best 'Meaning ' of this BEAST song ^.^ ( in my opinion ) again thanks to everyone :D

Yeah it's about a kid who's teased and not as fortunate as the "other kids with the pumped up kicks." The part where it says dad's coming home with a surprise....yeeahh pretty sure the surprise isn't something pleasant. Guy's got a crappy life & jerk family so he's shootin'. I personally find it amazing that this is the general idea yet it sounds so happy.

This songs about robbie hawkin who brought a gun to a mall and shot 9 people including himself after his parents neglecting furthermore kicking him out, his dad would beat him when he was little. wrote a note to family/friends, brought a revolver to the mall. "He'll look around the room" he went to the 3rd floor and shot randomly. "He wont tell you his plan" only told them in the note saying he will become famous and the cowboy stuff means he's having fun with the idea of how cool it will be.

This song is not about Robert Hawkins of the Westroads Mall shooting in Omaha. Robert was long estranged from his parents and lived with friends. The people he chose to open fire on were mostly middle-aged people over 40's with only Maggie Web (24) remotely close to his age (19). Robert also wasn't a loner, which the cowboy characteristics refer to (six shooter, cigarette, etc). This song is about isolation and a kid losing it and Foster is recalling the killer's perspective.

Lots of people get bullied and never kill themselves or commit a mass murder. Also if you do even a small amount of research you will see eric harris and dylan were both narcissistic and sociopathic. They were social darwinists, read their diaries. You cannot excuse murder because some kids gave them a hard time. Its called manning up and kicking someones ass. I can think of thousands of solutions before murdering someone.

This song is fucked up. I see no reason to support it or this video. The artist that produced this song has fucked up moral values, and so do the people who find nothing wrong with this son. You are either retarded mentally, totally ignorant of real world events, or have fucked up moral values. If you find nothing wrong with this song, you need to stop living on the computer, get a mental health test, and re-evaluate your views and values. People like you disgust me

The song is actually about Columbine. One of the band members had a cousin who went to Columbine during the shootings.
