Just curious what you guys think the lyrics mean for Devil,Cross to Bear, Paper Jesus, and any others you want to write about.
Also who do you think he is talking to in king of All Excuses?

KOAE is about a contract worker that screwed him over when he was doing work on his house. He was digging a hole, but dug too deep and went to china.

Omg The Lyrics from Devil are soo Amazing its about How The Mistakes or our downfalls affects us and the people in our lives if u want to put it that way thats how I see it. Its a Powerful song to me.

Cross To Bear is actually I think what Aaron Is trying to say is that People dont actually see him for who he is and wishes that they would dissapear cuz he feels like he's carrying a Cross or something just proving his existance.

Of course you were. Wink haha!

If you look in the lyrics it says "did you forget that you were family?" so i think hes talking about a relative by marriage. For example a brother in law or something like tht, but im not sure. If you check fan sites they normally have song meanings, tho theyre rarely official.

paper jesus is a radical song, about burning your money, one of the more radical songs I have heard from a mainstream band.

I dont have nay idea what Devil is about. Cross to Bear doesnt seem to be religious or about Christ as its title would suggest. Seems like its about Aarons childhood and how he feels about it. That it is a burden.

King of All excuses seems to be taking on Bush and others who exploit humans for material gain.
