This thread is not meant for criticism, many know how I leik the 'Screamo' but this song has none what so ever.(other of their songs do)

Basically, I borrowed In Flames newest album from my friend and I listened to this song and looked up the lyrics cause it got me wondering. The lyrics themselves in this song could have many meanings but I want to know what you think they mean, and please listen to the song, it may be long and somewhat boring on the first listen, but it is extremely meaningful in my opinion.
Lyrics:


I think that it may represent the choises that you make, bad or good. And how some people make you understand what is good and what is bad, how some people save you from the darkness but leave you in wonder do I diserve it? And why I forgive the ones that broke me and pushed me in the Darkness? 'Come faith I'm dying...'

I know, I sound extremely err, emo saying that, but it was meant to be pussy-ish lol.

So what do you think?

Shit, you can do this with tons of songs by anyone. Including Mastodon. Hell, just look at the Crack the Skye album. And even more than that, their second album, Remission, had some pretty deep stuff. Like these:

Trilobite

This one is really kind of obvious I guess, but it's basically a heavy metal song about being with someone you love. The way t's delivered, though, the song itself is just powerful.

"Where strides the Behemoth"

This one's about domestic abuse, Stockholm syndrome where the victim stays with her abuser anyway "pretentious [she] follows". The last two lines are especially great.

'Mother Puncher"

Hatred of negligent/abusive parents and the eventual backlash, so to speak.

The best part about Mastodon is that the lyrics to nearly any song can be interpreted however the listener feels is correct, what applies to them. It makes it such a more involving experience. So you don't have to agree with what I think of them as. And a lot of the time, it's all accomplished ith just a few phrases and some heavy guitar. That is something. A lot of other bands have deep meanings/messages; Metallica and Motorhead in particular have some interesting messages. Metallica's mostly being in the earlier work (especially the Master of Puppets album) and Motorhead having some neat little gems like this one about athiesm:

'Keys to the Kingdom"

Didn't mean to hijack your thread or try and put you down or anything, but I've listened to and thought about these a lot more than I've thought about In Flames and I don't get many opportunities to dscuss them.

Ya, I know. Mastodon's Crack the Skye is possibly my favorite album of almost ever besides Pink Floyd's The Wall and KsE's Daylight Dies. I'm just saying this song more than any other song i've ever heard has made me think alot recently. And be my guest at sparking conversation Lenin.

Still wanna know what ya think of it though
