| I think this song is trying to tell that we are trying to solve the solution with just another thing that just feeds the flames of the problem. That they didn't try very hard and they have lost their direction of where they are going that they have gotten everything messed up by doing one thing that was just not a smart thing to do. That the ones lies and bad morals are found to be right and not found wrong. That people are just becoming weaker by agreeing with the lies and bad morals which just adds more to the problem and that will we ever figure out what really is the solution to the problem. In every day that we just getting weaker by letting these things pass without notice that the spineless attempt was made to stop it. But we just failed now we are running in circles. Now we are afraid of sleeping well because of the bad decisions that were made and that we might never reach to where we are trying to go or the goals that we want because of this. Well thats what i think it means. 1 | |

| I saw them live 1 week ago and they played that song (according to Ander´s announcement the 2nd time they played it on a concert.) Quote: "The next song´s about greedy people." Rest is up to you =) | |

| In Flames ARE NOT black metal! goes to show how little you know bout metal.. Dimmur Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Windir, Immortal are black metal. In Flames are melodic/gothenburg death metal. As previously stated, this song is about the downfall of humanity caused by corruption and apathy, etc; | |

| This is another slab of pure in flames magic. They are one of the few bands that seem to get a sort of melody and energy into their music and still remain shaggadellically heavy. They churn out stuff like this yet they are still crimminally underrated, why was it that i hadnt heard of them until i saw them supporting slipknot, u ask anyone who has heard of them their opinion and you will get a positive response i gurantee. i think this response is probably to do with us as people and that with the way we are living we have no future etc. u know the story roughly | |

| "A liar’s ambition, praised like a king" I think this refers to how the blind masses praises the scum that runs this earth. A strangers contribution. Everybody’s on the run. It might refer to people being afraid of the unknown No clue where they are heading. Mankind has no purpose, or direction, it is just a suicide march, and people don't even see it | |

| I feel that the meaning of this song is best expressed by my father's question when hearing it: "Is this about George W. Bush?" This is about the destructive nature of those in power globally (I like to think it's directed at America specifically), and how those lying assholes are not only getting away with it, but are being "praised like a king". No wonder we are getting weaker. | |

| Hm, well, to me, this song is about how over time, people have slowly denounced their means of though, by simply conforming. | |
