man this song is so good. the first time i heard it i stopped what i was doing, turned the speakers up real loud and just sat there listening to the lyrics. it's such an empowering song.
i think the lyrics are from the perspective of this guy who's kind of a pushover. like he lets people walk all over him and does what they ask of him because he's weak. and then one day he decides "hey, i'm not gonna be your freakin doormat anymore. i'm not going to compromise who i am for you." and that's when he says "so no longer will i lay down, play dead, play your doe in the headlights." and him roaring is like him finally telling the people to fuck off.
i can totally relate to this song because i used to be a pushover. i used to agree with what other people said to avoid confrontation. i still do sometimes, but i'm standing up for myself more and more each day. yay for me! =)
