Got so much salt from your lies poured into me You didn't see yourself dead already So full of it with every breath that you breathe But you forget that in your fairy tale I'm the wolf All this attention got you thinking that you're a queen You think that everything you're doing isn't a dream Long as it feels alright I had gotten frozen by the way you walked By the love that you gave, by that look on your face It's a cover up, I know everything I had gotten frozen by the way you walked By the love that you gave, by that look on your face It's a cover up, I know everything, I know everything You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted to feel It's what you're dying to feel Checkout your face on the wall, like what you see? I'm sure you see yourself, oh, so unique You're just a sucker for the flame of the week But you forget that in your fairy tale, bitch I'm the wolf All this attention got you thinking you were a queen You thought that everything in life [Incomprehensible] Nothing is what you think I had gotten frozen by the way you walked By the love that you gave, by that look on your face It's a cover up, I know everything I had gotten frozen by the way you walked By the love that you gave, by that look on your face It's a cover up, I know everything, I know everything, I know everything You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted to feel It's what you're dying to feel You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted to feel It's what you're dying to feel You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted to feel It's what you're dying to feel You're made for four letter fame Regret is part of your name It's something you couldn't tell It's what you wanted to feel It's what you're dying to feel

    General Comment:I may be WAY off the mark here but I had always thought that the song refers to goth/emo bands - hence BLACK BUBBLEGUM i.e Pop music withblack eyeliner. Four-letter fame is the offensive fame they have gained in the last few years. Checking themselves up on the wall thinking they are oh so unique when in their fairy tale (bitch) Greg is the wolf ready to cut them down. When I saw them preform this on Conan O'Brien they dressed suspiciously enmo for the occasion. Coincidence?

    My Interpretation:I feel like this song is about Avenged Sevenfold they fought before releasing this album.
    They made fun of A7X by stating that they would put their names in a pussy way like Avenged Gayfold did.
    Not to mention Ben's interviews that he still likes former members(I don't remember. I'm sure I saw it somewhere on Youtube), so I made my decision that this song is about 'teasing poser metal / pussy emo bands'.

    General Comment:The four letters he refers to in "four letter fame" are F-U-C-K. This is the key that unlocks your understanding of the rest of the lyrics in this song. If you can't understand why that is the most logical interpretation of that line, then I just feel sorry for you.

    My Interpretation:I dont know why everyone thinks every single song is about a girl. To me, it seems like the song was written about a member that is either IN the band still or WAS in the band. It seems more of a song about someone who cant overcome an addiction, or their own demons. My reasons:

    You didn't see yourself dead already (someone who's addiction overcomes their ambitions)
    So full of shit with every breath that you breathe (lying about anything, throwing away their morals)
    All this attention got you thinking that you're a queen (an addict gets a lot of attention, but all negative)
    You think that everything you're doing isn't a dream (so he represses it and stops focusing on reality)
    As long as it feel alright

    You're made for four letter fame (instead of PORN, i thought more HATE or LOVE. (Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Bradley Nowell) you either hate them or you love them, theres no in between really.

    There's something you couldn't tell
    It's what you wanted to feel
    It's what you're dying to feel (he's basically killing himself at that point because he cant stop and he's afraid of the world without the drugs now)

    Also when i watched the video for this song, there were old men scratching themselves and curling up in the fetal position, making me think there is an opiate involved. It's like he's an old man already in his mind, too lazy to work for his ambitions anymore, so all he wants is to feel is security.

    Thats just my two cents, i might be completely wrong but i just wanted to offer another way to look at it, instead of pidgeon holing everything into "emo" or whatever, try to dig deeper and see if the singer may have been trying to tell you something that he couldnt just flat out say.
    Who cares what genre music really is? Appreciate it for the fact that the artists took a LOT of time to create it and they really have something sincere to say (at least some).

    General Comment:It's definitely about a porn actress (whom he probably dated). Or maybe it's written from the point of view of a porn director. That's why he'S a wolf - he's chewing her up like a bubblegum for his personal profit irrespective of her future which is possibly destroyed by her desision to be in porn (You didn't see yourself dead already). The only thing i'm asking myself, why black bubblegum? Maybe it's about a black actress?

    General Comment:Lol. Nice whining on the Internet, Bitches.

    'This song I think was their experiment with pop. Very tongue-in-cheek and a big slap in the face of pop bands.' - As quoted, by someone on YouTube.

    General Comment:That's right, this song IS about a female. A female he loathes. It's also about taking advantage of her. How VERY emo.

    General Comment:I love how you all hate this song and love Unretrofied. I enjoy both songs. DEP is so diverse, I wouldn't they release a song with this sound? I'm sure they all listened to music like this before.

    And for those of you who complain about how it's about a woman, go listen to Arsis' We Are the Nightmare and United in Regret. Then kindly shut up. Both of those albums are about women and both destroy face.
