Songfacts®:

  • Sevendust lead singer Lajon Witherspoon tells us that this is one of his favorite tracks from the Black Out the Sun album. He says the lyrics he wrote are about "people not wanting to hear the truth, the elephant in the room."

    "It's always there, and nobody wants it," he continued. "Nobody wants to hear the truth, nobody wants to say the truth, 'One minute left in hell/And everybody's running scared,' [singing] 'Nobody wants it,' it's like, just tell the truth, you know, we're all running from the truth."
