I’m torn on my feeling
about this Social Fallout song. I enjoy it but I feel it’s a little too
different from the rest of Social Fallout’s material. I also feel like some of
my lyrics are a little too cliché. At the same time, this is also one of my
angriest songs lyrically, and the lyrics serve the title in a personal sense
for me. I was going through some personal issues where I felt that I was getting
screwed from many different directions. I wanted to put my frustrations to song
while being vague about my personal situations.
Another reason I’m
proud about this particular track is the fact that it doesn’t contain any
cursing. I wrong this around the time that Mushroomhead released XIII, and they created that album with
no cursing. Seether’s Karma & Effect
was also an album that had come out recently that contained no cursing. The
choice to avoid cursing wasn’t a moral choice, I don’t find anything wrong in
cursing; this was merely an artistic decision. I felt that using curse words
would be an easy way out artistically and it was best for me artistically to
avoid that.
While I do in
retrospect find this song to be a bit of a mess (our attempt at progressive
hard rock/metal that became more meandering than anything), I’m still proud of
our attempt at experimentation. This song also probably took the longest to
finish of all the songs that we did. I had a hard time finding the melody for
the track, and the bridge was particularly difficult, which explains why I
decided to devolve into screaming it besides giving those lyrics emphasis. You
can catch the originally recording of the track as it appeared on Chapter 1: Peaceful Aggression below.
