As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I wear my crown of thorns and pull the knife out my chest.
I keep searching for something that I never seem to find.
But maybe I won't, because I left it all behind.
Now I'm stuck with this, and that'll never change
Always a part of me, until the very last day.
Where to go from here? What road to travel on?
I spent my whole life choosing, and I always chose wrong
Will I try to have the will to be alive?
Will I try because I've never seen the light?
Blow it to the ground and it's now you see,
You spent your whole life taking the best of me

Where'd you go?
Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now?
Hear me now

How long can I keep pretending to be?
That all the stars in the sky could mean something to me.
Heaven will open up if I live on my knees.
A man of many words, but a man of few deeds.
Walking these streets, so absent of hope.
A pillow of concrete, a man with no home.
Lend him a hand, then we're walking the way.
Leave the virtue of pity, but we live with the shame.
So scared to dream in a world with no sunlight.
When you wake up, you know it's darker than last night.
Quickly we forget, sacrifice gone by.
Born to walk away, been walking my whole life.

Where'd you go?
Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now?
Hear me now

Look into my eyes and I see
What do I see?
Nothing at all
Take another look around me
What do I see?
Nothing at all

Where'd you go?
Where's your home?
How'd you end up all alone?
Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound.
Hard to breathe, when you're underground.
Can you hear me now?
Hear me now

Can you hear me?
Hear me now

    My Interpretation:I think that this song is about someone making poor choices and asking God for direction but he doesn't give any and he wonders if God exists. In the first verse, he is asking God what he should do next, but God isn't answering his calls. In the second verse, he is wondering if God even exist.

    "How long can I keep pretending to be?
    That all the stars in the sky could mean something to me.
    Heaven will open up if I live on my knees.
    A man of many words, but a man of few deeds."

    General Comment:I don't know why, but when I heard this song I thought the same thing that j3tistheman
    did. For some reason I figured that they were talking to Deuce in some way but then I figured that if they kicked him out then why would they write a song about him? Of course things are never that simple. This song reminds me of my best friend becuse of the "Where'd you go, where's your home, How'd you end up all alone" thing. But i think it's about someone just not hearing them. You never really know the TRUE meaning of a song unless the band tells it themselves. But what do I know?

    My Interpretation:I think this song is about someone looking for god but there is no sign of him. He's been talking to him, praying asking for guidance but God never replies. He talks about all the things that make him not believe in god. Why would god let such horrible things happen to his people?

    At the beginning he mentions:
    "I keep searching for something that I never seem to find.
    But maybe I won’t, because I left it all behind."
    This meaning he's looking for faith but because of hardships in his life he's lost his faith and he feels that because he's lost hope he'll never be able to get it back.

    "Heaven will open up if I live on my knees.
    A man of many words, but a man of few deeds.
    Walking these streets, so absent of hope."

    This literally says "Why should I spend all my time praying to you if you're not helping?"

    A man of many words but few deeds refers to God saying all he says in the bible but doesn't do anything he says. So the guy is wondering around lost and out of hope.

    "There’s no light, there’s no sound.
    Hard to breathe, when you’re underground.
    Can you hear me now? Hear me now"

    Obvious, but he's talking about when you're dead and being buried and he wants to know where he will go. And he's screaming to god to prove he exists so he can have faith again.

    "Look into my eyes and I see
    What do I see? Nothing at all
    Take another look around me
    What do I see? Nothing at all"

    This is him saying he has no faith anymore, he just can't find god or any faith in him.
    He can't see god, can't find him anywhere, so how can he be real?

    This is just my interpretation. I love this song, because it describes me so well. I don't believe in God, but I once asked and begged for him to show me some kind of sign. I got silence.
    Amazing song! Love it so much~

    Song Meaning:To all u people who think this song is about Deuce, just noo. They all voted Deuce out the band so why would they make a song about him? NONE of the damn songs in the "American Tragedy." album is about Deuce. They've move on and not cry about it. But. Deuce still hasn't gotten over the fact that he's out the band so he writes and remixes songs to diss HU. He needs to grow up and get over it.
    ANYWAY. This song is about a depress person who has no hope. Simple. :))

    General Comment:Idk about anyone else, but to me this song sounds like a rejection of religion or of god. The lyrics at the beginning, as well as the lines:
    "Look into my eyes and I see
    What do I see? Nothing at all
    Take another look around me
    What do I see? Nothing at all"

    To me it sounds like a person whose gone through hard times, and asked for help from a higher power and not recieved any. This man being virtuous and kind, doing everything he was told to isn't getting any help when he's in trouble which has led him to doubt that a higher power is even there and he's asking for a response.

    General Comment:A pillow of concrete, a man with no home.
    Lend him a hand, then we�re walking the way.
    Leave the virtue of pity, but we live with the shame.
    So scared to dream in a world with no sunlight.
    When you wake up, you know it�s darker than last night.
    Quickly we forget, sacrifice gone by.
    Born to walk away, been walking my whole life.

    I feel like this song is calling out deuce a little bit in this verse especially like he messed up by leaving and hes never gonna find his home again....
