1. Twenty. One. Guns?
"Do we know...when it's not...does it take your...feel...suffocating"
"Pain...Pride...Hide...Heart...Ruin"
The first phrases of this song could easily skip the transitional prepositions.
Then the chorus encompasses "Give up the fight, lay down your arms."
"When you're at the end of the road...when your mind breaks the spirit of your soul..."
"Faith walks on Broken Glass" makes it seem like it was a good-natured soul who lost his pride in a situation. But then, the "Hangover doesn't Pass", somehow it's a bit more of a personal failure. Again, we're in "ruins." And once the bridge kicks in and explodes with "did you stand too close to the fire? like a liar looking for forgive from a stone?", we reach the only non-clice part of the piece. I believe this song has less to do with being fired upon, but more like 21 years of anguish, assaulting others with personal flaws, and self-destructing...and then asking for an emo patch. A great song nonetheless, but quite trite in its delivery of commiserating youthful angst and regret.
