Send "Six" Ringtone to Cell

I Wish I was free of this

I see her in my dreams
Wish that she wasn't there

But she still haunts me and I

Still feel her breath on me
Still want to taste her skin

But I know that would kill me

No Damn her, still i choke on her lies
Still reeling from her last caress her goodbye

Oh how this sickens me
This wrteched fools affair

I can't erase this from me

And now it permeates
And every thought I feel
The anger writhes in my soul

No Damn her, still I feel my stomach turn
Choke back hold my head high I'm strong

No damn her still i choke on her lies
Not reeling I'm strong

Send "Six" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I like the theory of it being about drugs. It would be incredibly smart of them to mask the subject of drugs with the metaphor of a woman and/or breakup. Also, the middle breakdown, even before I knew the lyrics, gave me the impression of someone going through withdrawal. For me personally, I take the song as being about some kind of vice. Alcoholism is mine and so this song has become very important to me.

    My Interpretation:I feel as though this song is about someone that lied or cheated on him and it's hurting him because he still loves her after all that she's done to him and can't let her go, and it's frustrating him that she's haunting him even after all that. But it's not only the lyrics that tell the story of the song it's also the guitar, the clean interlude part sorta feels like he's finally released from the hold she had over him, like he's finally let go.

    General Comment:Right it seems pretty straight foreward and self explanatory, but what if the song is an extended metaphor of drugs.Therefore drugs are being personified by a woman, but you can interpret it any way you want! The name of the song though I find no relationship what so ever

    General Comment:Six is because of the beats per measure. (some of the words' beats are combined because of how he sings it btw) And I love this song.

    Memory:It's ridiculous, this song hits on so many different levels: both as a person and musician. On the musician level, there's a lot going on here. Like how frenetic the tempo is coupled with Philip's growls and screams. It gives the overall feeling of betrayal - blind anger at having been wronged by someone you trusted in and gave so much to. On the flip side on lines like "but I know that would kill me..." where Labonte switches to singing, it gives the picture that the rage is not entirely blind - that doing something or following through with it could be disastrous. The break before the solo where it calms down is one of the most colorful parts of the song. Like when you've been dumped and your energy is all used up, and you almost find some sort of strange serenity in it just being over...and then relapse back into rage (possibly).

    On a personal level, it's like ATR read through a crystal ball and put so many people's feelings into one song. For me that's especially true after being recently dumped by a woman I cared for - care for almost *too* much according to people who know the story. I'm in the middle of a lot of transitions in life and at first I was just thrashing wildly emotionally. The thought of what she did to me utterly repulsed me - I still can't sleep well at night since I usually wake up after a few hours from a nightmare that includes her.

    But on a final note, people can often generalize on the perceived rage and hatred found in metal. Many instances are true, but you have to dig deep to find the artists who are producing art - art being that which can't be described well by most of us. Maybe it's hard for some people to convert what emotions would be like aurally, so they can't perceive music at a deeper level. My two cents. Peace.

    General Comment:I relate to this song so fucking well right now... The love of my life just told me she thinks shes pregnant with another guys fucking kid. Im so in love with her but it fucking KILLS me that she had sex with another guy and might be pregnant. Shes my everything. She saved my life. I used to be an addict but she helped me get clean... but now Im at a loss of what to do. I wanna marry her and spend the rest of my life with her but this kid just changes everything. This song hits me really hard right now... its always been one of my favorites but Ive never really been able to relate to it till now.
