Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture shane Wanna Be	#1 by shane kendry at Oct 12, 2005 at 6:48 AM EST
	its all about quickblur, i think

No Picture Remi Average	#2 by Remi Frenette at Nov 9, 2005 at 12:46 PM EST
	Its about a long gone love he use to be with....that meant so much to him. and they both got hurt in the end and its just a song that lets out how he feels about it....he no longer wants to be caught up in the past..he wants to change who he WAS....because its over....although he knows he hurt her and he is very sorry...its a perfect song! it gives me goosebumps it makes me think of my ex boyfriend...he has a great point in this song! its by far my favorite of all their music....basically my last point is that i think he means that he met this girl for a reason because she taught him to be the person he really is..and she let that out of him

No Picture megan(peggy-lei Average	#3 by megan(peggy-leigh) spektor at Jan 20, 2006 at 2:36 PM EST
	This song makes me think of the only love in my life. The only one who actually took the time to knwo me and love me. I love you Amii!

No Picture Tyler Average	#4 by Tyler Ruli at Apr 6, 2006 at 4:25 PM EST
	Hes also trying to say that he was a bad person for hurting his love that he cared about alot....he quoted "I never meant to do those things to you"..."I'm sorry that I hurt You" and hes sorry that she had to be the one he did it to, and now he is totally mad at himself..and he NEVER wants to hurt anyone again or go back to the mean person he was so now he is changing himself all because he never wants to hurt one he loves....and hes sorry that he had to learn his lesson and hurt a beautiful person to him..if that makes sense? its kinda hard to explain

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#5 by Chris H at Jun 16, 2006 at 5:33 AM EST
	I love this song for it's slow and remorseful qualities. Aside from it's wonderful lyrics the fact that Hoobastank leaned away from the screaming tones of similar songs by other artists is a great quality. However, the song is fairly straight forward. Regrettful of past failures and personal faults he is reaching towards his one.

	shit, I had a reason, I wonder where she went...

No Picture lindsey Average	#7 by lindsey Rogogo at Nov 5, 2006 at 2:38 PM EST
