OK this song was written, when they were rewriting their old song Association (Runaway Demo). Most of the songs on HT are old Xero songs remade, so that they fit Chester, instead of Mark Wakefield. But during the righting, they had to have Mark help them, cause he sitll did right most of the original song. So he kept telling Chester that he was ruining the song or something along those lines, and chester flipped out on him and started screaming shit like shut the fuck up at him (the shut up part). So Chester was all pissed off and wrote a song about it. "I cannot take this anymore I'm saying everything I've said before" is about Mark only half listening to his ideas. "All these thoughts they make no sense I found bliss in ignorance" is about trying to understand what Mark wrote "Association about. So this song is basically Chester being pissed off about not understanding the song "Runaway". The reason he doesn't like it is because hes so pissed with himself for flipping out on one of Mike Shinoda's best friends for such a stupid reason. Mark Wakefield was LP's original singer when they were Xero (he brad and rob were all jewish), he left the band, because they sent out tons of demos and eps to record labels, but they got ignored, and he is now quite wealthy anyways cause he's now Taproot's manager, (that's how they got stephen richards booked for P5HNG.ME.4*WY

This song talks about how most people think that they are getting closer to death, but since he is a christian he is getting closer to life in heaven with God. "Would it be right to say that no one ever truly listens? Or takes the time to understand what something means "he is saying that most people just listen to this song and don't think to understand the meaning behind it.

This song is awesome! It's very true. I love mxpx and I love how they sing Christian music, but a lot of it is for kids, which is great too.
