No Picture Alex Average	#3 by Alex Lawrence at Oct 1, 2007 at 9:17 PM EST
	this song is about censorship,and how much they hate it,from what I read on a webpage,who knows?I think it kicks ass no matter what

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#4 by Ben Shaw at Oct 4, 2007 at 9:02 PM EST
	The real meaning was given by RIPlayne, but to me this song is about a martyr(not just religious martyrs).

No Picture blade Rhythm Player	#5 by blade rhoat at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:44 AM EST
	It's about animal abuse and cruelty. The band got it's name from a 3-legged dog named Alice, who was tied up in chains and abused by it's owner, also the insparation for this song
