Send "Bullets" Ringtone to Cell

Walking around I hear the earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot ‘cause they want it

I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead

Look at me…look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

In my lifetime when I'm disgraced
By jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud ‘cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else's mind

Look at me…look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet
through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why…why do we live life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away ‘cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away I'll go and you'll never see me again

    General Comment:As soon as I heard the lyrics to this song, I instantly thought of Fred Durst. To me this is about the incident between him and Scott Stapp at the Dysfunctional Family Picnic a year before Weathered was released. Before Limp Bizkit performed one of their songs Fred was talking to the crowd and calling Stapp a punk and an egomaniac, as well as insulting Creed's music. During Creed's set Stapp responded by saying that "it takes a lot more guts to say something to somebody than from behind their backs", and that's what made mt think of the connection between that incident and this song.

    But that's just my opinion ;)

    My Opinion:Winey vocals? You're fucking stupid, dude. And "I'm a nihilist so I listen to people who scream and play really loud music and curse a lot?" Do you know what nihilism is? You're not a nihilist, you're fucking stupid, dude.
    The song is most closely about what pmac52188, sort of like Creed's version of Nirvana's "Rape Me," but insted of being about the rec companies I think its about all the fuckin detractors that creed had and has - just regular people on the street who think they can say this band sucks or this band is good, like its an absolute or something. And we all know Creed had A LOT of people who said anyone who dug them were pussies or had to taste. For those people, listen to bullets. At least look at the man you're insulting when you basically put a bullet through his life's work and through his head. Bitch.

    General Comment:One of their collective 4 decent songs, and probably the only one that means something lyrically.

    But good. Except the breakdown, that gets on my nerves. LIke the intro.

    General Comment:Taking all the time and money to write a song to respond to anything fred durst says is kinda pathetic.
    But, bullets was okay, considering im a nihilist and usually listen to stuff like CoF and Fear Factory. Not a bad song from a band i usually ignore.
