| this song is about being in love with an asshole who just hurts you in every way possible, you want to love them more and more but you just en up being hurt. His heart is calloused from all its taken...hes pulling out the arrow, he wants to live, he wants to forget. >>by far, my favorite song on *parade of chaos*, i love it, i can really feel and relate with this song..! | |

| This song makes me think that Dan (or whomever the song is written about/for) fell in love and it wound up biting him in the ass cuz the other person took advantage of it. He's a bitter, bitter man. But then, when it happens to us, aren't we all? | |

| The Fire Beneath, i absoultly hate how people autmatically assume that all of Dans lyrics are Christian, if you where a real fan you would know that is not been true since Liberate, this is obviusly about falling in love with someone you cant have, or something along those lines | |

| I think it is rather simple... It basically discribes the feel you get when you love someone, then it is just emphasizing love when it says "pulling out arrows, from my calloused heart". It is basically saying he is hit with love. Thats what I think | |

| this is also a good song... of course, anything Zao is great... i love it all... lyrically this song is very good too... i believe it is about love... the verses are poetic ways to describe the pain that Dan feels in association with this person (possibly the infamous Tiffany?)... the chorus and the bridge which isn't in the lyrics ('pull out the arrows from my heart') are symbolic of pulling Cupid's arrows from his heart... Cupid's arrows cause people to be struck with love ... it seems that Dan either regrets loving this person or wishes he never did for some reason or another... pulling Cupid's arrows from his heart represents destroying this love... the title is obviously about killing Cupid, either to stop him from his job, or to get revenge on him for the 'worthless' love Dan has experienced... | |

| This song is about how pure God is and how it makes all his senses fail because we are all sinners. "Pulling out arrows from my calloused heart" represents Gods love for us and his attempts to get humans to love him, though all that he tries he will never succeed, therefore he is pulling out the arrows; rejecting God. its strange that i came up wiht that because i dont really like religion | |
