	This song is about Suicide, and I'll Quote the Lyrics - "hey, I'm your life, and I no longer care" - and Also about the 'inner voice' of your consience, Telling you what you do, and what it will do for you.

No Picture Rivers Average	#2 by Rivers Light at Jul 27, 2006 at 12:17 PM EST
	I think it's about someone with skitzophrenia (I know that isn't spelled right) like having a voice inside of your head. Like they're the persons only true friend, and they're everything to this person.

No Picture Justin Average	#3 by Justin at Sep 5, 2006 at 7:08 PM EST
	I with all of you. This is a song about a guys's dark side speaking to him and controling him. this song is antoher that is best heard live. This is like minus human with it's looseness and heavyness.

No Picture Adam Average	#4 by Adam Favro at Oct 22, 2006 at 1:52 PM EST
	this song to me is about a man's "darkside" speaking to him. telling him how it(the darkside) runs his life.

No Picture philipp Rhythm Player	#5 by philipp at Dec 10, 2006 at 5:55 PM EST
	It sounds to me like they're talking about getting pulled into a mafioso sort of arrangement. "you you, you're my mask, you're my cover my shelter" you're the fall guy "do, do, do my work, do my dirty work, scapegoat" you get to do the dirty work because you're expendable the parts about being "his life" mean that if he leaves he's screwed, because he's already in too deep. I think the first verse really gives it away: "Hey I'm your life I'm the one who takes you there hey I'm your life I'm the one who cares they they betray I'm your only true friend now they they'll betray I'm forever there " sounds very gang/mafioso related to me, saying everyone else is lying, and they're your only friends.

No Picture Zim Average	#6 by Zim Zimson at Jan 29, 2007 at 8:30 AM EST
	its obvious that its your inner evil that takes control of you sometimes and you have no control of it
