you dont talk to anyone
you wont look at anyone but her
and i dont think she's listening
i doubt she remembers your name
and you say, when will she notice me
and you feel, like youre gonna break
and you say, when will she notice me
and it feels, like a hand grenade
man, ill never understand
everyone's livin in the past
instead of forgetting her
you're always kissing her ass
i know that there's not much to say
so ill look stupid anyway
you dont talk to anyone
you wont look at anyone but her
and i dont think she's listening
but you still play that game
but i think the best way
of moving on is to attack
cause she's just a hand grenade
so pull out the pin and throw it back
i know that there's not much to say
so ill look stupid anyway
like a hand grenade, like a hand grenade
a hand grenade

    General Comment:This is about one of those guys that sets his sights on a girl that will never want him back. Vinnie's telling him to get as far away from her as possible so he doesn't get hurt (she'll blow up in his face like a hand grenade; he throws the hand grenade to get away from her). Great advice really, although I suspect Vinnie is talking to himself here.

    Great song, and so, so true. I just hope I'm not always this guy... haha

    General Comment:I think this song means that he didnt really like the girl as much anymore and he just held on too long and everything blew up... like a hand grenade

    General Comment:yeah whisker10 got it spot on, guys get a fucking raw deal at the hands of girls who seem to get what they want...i love my emo and this was the first "emo"ish song i heard where vinnie seems to be telling me to not wallow but get the fuck over that girl who is hella special, but she doesnt deserve the way i feel for her cos she fukd me over...so yeah, fucking rad song...and why are system fans reading these lyrics if they dont like them, and even comparing 2 such different styles of music.
