QUOTE(KrazyLegs @ Jul 7 2007, 03:25 AM) [snapback]385044[/snapback]The song means whatever the listener wants it to mean. The first time i read the lyrics, i took it as a love song. But if someone thinks its a song about friendship or whatever, that's thier opinion.
You're right on your first 2 points. The song doesn't refer to two people only, and love does't have to be between 2 people. But i think the second line in the song about "Self loathing" refers to the writer. He was empty and hated himself before he met this particular person/group of people.
As far as the overall meaning of the song, I think Matt was trying to make a heavy love ballad (as i stated earlier). I could be wrong, but that's a risk i'm willing to take.
Thank you for your input.
The album "The Crusade" tackles social and eithical issues so it would make sense if the song were about things on a far grander scale.

I was just wondering when the fuck I made this topic.
But I didn't.
EDIT: I changed my name, so it's alright now.
