  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganThis one is tuned pretty low: Drop B. Also, why is there no page for "Home"? I'd really like to know more about that one - I think it's about Adam's 'rents.
  • Roach from Nowhere, GermanyThe fact is not really right. This song is not exactly about a relationship. It is about a very bad day, when you feel like all your friends have let you down and you're all alone. But then you think: Why do I miss them? I am better off alone and I need noone to control me or hold me down.
  • Alexis from Ramsey, MnA lot of the songs off of their album explain my friendship with this one girl...
    Especially this one.
    And Over and Over.
    She's my best friend, one of my only friends, really. But somehow she's also the reason I'm so depressed. She constantly tells me I need a stronger backbone, which is true, cause I can't tell these words to her face....
  • Tyus from Selinsgrove, PaYeah, it took me awhile to get it, but I love it, but I would take Let It Die or Gone Forever over it
  • Kyle from Egmondville, CanadaThis is a bit of a hard song to understand for some people. It can take a lot of courage just to be able to stick up for yourself instead of being depressed sometimes.
  • Helen from Columbus, OhI have always loved this song... It's my favorite off of their first album. To me, it's always been about living your life for yourself, and not letting anyone get you down, and being who you are and not letting anyone change it.
  • Ashley from Moncton, CanadaThis was my favourite song off their CD Three Days Grace. I haven't listened to it in a while, but it's an awesome song.
