| This song is a scary story, a non-fiction story. Its a story of the world we live in today and the people that live in it. Its a real story. When Chad said he wrote a scary story he was just humoring himself.After all, he did write a story, it was just a real one. | |

| The last line of this song is actually "drain us of life and clense the mess". I don't know what it's about but it's an awesome song. | |

| I like the little pauses. Its like they did it to make you think,"what the hell". Because before all the pauses they say some weird crap like line up cattle and cut the necks. It made me think a little bit. | |

| If you watch the Live in Peoria DVD, Kud actually tells the audience: "I grew up on scary stories, so I wrote one of my own..." | |

| The band has always been into the whole "We are destroying ourselves, inorder to recreate life" theme. This is the eariler forms of that in their music. As for literal song meaning - Just go with something one of the others said :) | |

| It's about Cris childhood and his father, about how he made him work ridiculously as a child, and it affects him still to this day. | |
