	What a spine tingler, the solo and harmonies in this own to fuck, proper emotional song this. Love this album to bits! Saw them at Manchester Academy last year, sound engineering was shit but they ruled :P

	"I also love the solo part of this song because it is about relating to other people and sharing common experiences or feelings. To me this is what music or the arts is about, sharing emotions, human emotions. It says that we are all humans and we feel anger, we need to express ourselves, we have emotions, we feel pain, and we are all scared to die. We are all in the same boat, and eventually that boat will sink, its a fact of life." you deserve a medal for writin that

	I really like this song, it's kind of hard to tell what Robb Flynn is really saying in this one. My best guess is that death comes to us all, so we can either sit around and wait for it, pissed off at al the bad in the world, or we can use the time we have now to make a difference.

	Yea, I agree with disposition, this song is great.

No Picture Scott Average	#6 by Scott Bramlett at Oct 19, 1995 at 6:47 AM EST
	This song is definitely about death and the inevitability of death. We are all going to die and as it says "death shines a golden light" means that death is the peaceful ending to our horrible lives here on earth. I love the line, "All our hate is a product of a world, we created". I have several interpreations for this line. First it is saying that we choise to hate/be angry with our lives. It is saying that if we are miserable, it is because we choose to be so. The other meaning that it has is that we humans create the society that we live in. We might be unhappy with how things are in our lives but it is the world that we have created and therefore cannot changes things unless we change the world we have created. Either way, I love this line because it puts the blame squarely on ourselves. Its says that if you are unhappy, it is because you make yourself unhappy. I also love the solo part of this song because it is about relating to other people and sharing common experiences or feelings. To me this is what music or the arts is about, sharing emotions, human emotions. It says that we are all humans and we feel anger, we need to express ourselves, we have emotions, we feel pain, and we are all scared to die. We are all in the same boat, and eventually that boat will sink, its a fact of life.

	I watched Machine Head a few weeks ago (the fucking dominated once again) and Robb Flynn refered to this song as "an eight minute lamentation about death". And I agree with RedFactory, this is one of the best songs Machine Head have ever written.
