Send "Turns To Ashes" Ringtone to Cell

I'm not sick, I'm just a boy
Sifting through the new found lie
And I'll be crawling through these ashes and dissecting all these flies
Since the sun has died and it is still somewhat July

Is this all the world has to offer?
And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me

One more piece inside these lines
Deeper harms my disguise
And everyone is different so everyone is sly
And everything's still horrible since everyone still dies

Is this all the world has to offer?
And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me

Is this all the world has to offer?
It turns to ashes on me

No one is safe

Send "Turns To Ashes" Ringtone to Cell

    My Interpretation:When I hear this song it takes me back to the moment when all the shit hit the fan ( war, pollution etc.. ). The line 'Im not sick, I'm just a boy' portrays exactly how i felt, It seemed as if everything was blamed on everyone, but its not as if everyone was trying to cause problems. As the song progressess it's as if I'm drifting through time to the point where it's certain we're 'all going to kill the planet and die.'

    General Comment:Love this song and especially the lyrics.
    Personally, I think that this is like a little boy's journey after a really big devastation - like a fire, an earthquake, a tsunami, a terrorist attacks. I think that this is something like a terrorist attack. He is going through the aftermath and the damage..and starts questioning about why humans can be evil and horrible:

    And everyone is different so everyone is sly
    And everything's still horrible since everyone still dies

    As well, why people can't get along (they're different) and also how he is reminded that everyone has to die one day from this attack.

    And then he asks
    Is this all the world has to offer?

    That pretty much sums it all up.

    General Comment:haha some of u people are halerious and childish.. if u like the band nothin wrong with quote jumping on the "bandwagon" so what let other people enjoy it even if they wherent a fan from the begining. o and about them being underground yeah thats cool but if they wanna get there music out and make it "radio friendly" then who cares one thing we all persue in life is money wether u like it or not so them being underground wont make them much shi* if i was a band and i would wanna be rich 2 and im sure all of u would also. whatever it takes in the music bussiness.. o and the tour with killswitch and FATA in FL was amazing..
