No Picture Spença Average	#2 by Spença B at Aug 24, 1972 at 8:14 PM EST
	I love the random star wars inserts. anyways, this is my favorite song in the whole world and you all shall bow down to MH

No Picture CJ Average	#3 by CJ Breidt at Jul 21, 1973 at 12:26 PM EST
	From Star Wars. Han Solo and Greedo who was hired to kill Han. Come on now that was an easy one.

No Picture JUSTIN Lead Player	#4 by JUSTIN LOCKHART at Jul 30, 1973 at 9:18 AM EST
	this song.... is awesome... now, i have a question for anyone that even looks at this lyric anymore... " Greedo died by the hand of Solo ".. who are these people?

No Picture mike Average	#5 by mike rojas at Sep 12, 1973 at 2:40 AM EST
	I think it's kind of about fighting back against oppression "React defiantly, I am someone" and trying to prove you're not just the same as everyone else. And the Greedo/Solo reference could be that pretty much the deer shot the hunter, fighting back against an oppressor pretty much. Well, that's my two cents

No Picture chris Average	#6 by chris thomas at May 22, 1974 at 11:20 PM EST
	This is the best song off their album, I think.

No Picture absinthe minded Rhythm Player	#7 by absinthe minded at Dec 20, 1975 at 11:07 AM EST
	just imagine sick, complusive behavior in the thoes of sanity. How utterly awful it would be to be compelled by your own internal problems to violate goodness, all the while completly aware. In this kind of situation, I would take the cyanide retreat. The song is a portrait of someone torn between fulfilling their sick neccesities and knowing that what they do is wrong. Two equally powerful forces, slowly ripping his mind in half.

No Picture Bassdude Average	#8 by Bassdude at Jun 15, 1977 at 9:46 AM EST
	this is one of the best songs on this album in my opinion, although I have never really been a fan of Star Wars... is that weird? Jeffrey nothing sounds so much like Mike Patton yet Nothing is still unique.

No Picture Alex Rhythm Player	#9 by Alex Vargas at Jan 26, 1980 at 7:38 AM EST
	Just to let you know, the beginning part of the song... "she's in highschool.. blah blah blah." Is from a movie adapted from a TV series back in the 80's or 90's. The series was called Twin Peaks and the movie that line comes out of is caleld Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Watch it... it helps with some insight into the song.

No Picture Jo Wanna Be	#10 by Jo Sterling at Feb 21, 1981 at 11:31 PM EST
	I love this song and it means a lot to mean. it's a deep song about people who are dealing or have dealt with depression and suicide. the whole sound of the song really brings out this hell that depression and suicide is. it's not just a little illness. it's really painful and hard to get through and mushroomhead shows it in this song. it means alot to me considering what i've been through.

No Picture TAMARA Musical Genius	#11 by TAMARA at Jul 16, 1982 at 12:43 PM EST
	just imagine, cylent watcher...how crazy you are. slit your wrist, you'dl like it.

	"Greedo died by the hands of Solo" that is purely a Star Wars reference. Greedo was the bounty hunter hired by Jabba the Hut to kill Han Solo, but when he tried, Solo was able to kill him first. If you notice J Mann talks about Solo in "The Wrist" and in "Solitaire/Unraveling." In one interview I read with him, he loves Star Wars, so that explains why he puts them in there. Also it shows that Mushroomhead doesnt' really put as much thought into their lyrics as well all think, they just put they lyrics together because it makes for a good record and a good show. Some certainly do have deeper meanings, but so many are put there just for fun.

No Picture Dave Average	#14 by Dave Led at Apr 23, 2001 at 5:32 AM EST
	wow another David Lynch reference(twin peaks), because Jeffrey Nothing is a reference to the movie Blue Velvet, uhm in case some people didn't know

No Picture Bas Average	#15 by Bas Koningsveld at Aug 13, 2002 at 8:29 AM EST
	i think this is about taking your own life by slitting your wrist (obviously ) but the 'greedo died by the hand of solo' reference could also be taken as 'greedo' is the person theyre greedo they took their own life, greedo (greedy person) died by the hands of solo (their own hand)..just a thought

No Picture lucas Average	#16 by lucas cordina at Oct 13, 2004 at 6:52 AM EST
	this is a damn coolsong (i love the bit at the beginning that isnt featured on the lyrics-"ever think, did you ever think anything?" etc) but i don't get the random Star Wars reference

No Picture Luke Professional	#17 by Luke Goudreault at Dec 9, 2005 at 12:06 PM EST
	this is the reversal of the roles song. the hunter is now the hunted and the star wars reference is an analogy to this, the piano is so eerie and this is quite possibly their greatest song on XX, the original mix has talking at the beginning that really takes the song in a different direction "she's in high school she is sexually active she is doing drugs" i dunno what that means but still the best mushroomhead song

No Picture Andy Wanna Be	#18 by Andy at Jan 5, 2006 at 7:14 AM EST
	i thought the rodian's name was gweedo hummmmmmm.....................................?

No Picture george Rhythm Player	#19 by george kafros at Apr 21, 2006 at 6:09 AM EST
	I think sn fred is closwer then the Star Wars theory. Just my 2 cents
