"Devil"

She sits alone again
And tries her best not to pretend
That all she used to live for
Was the love that wasn't there

And every time she needs to do the things
That she believes
Will fill the void inside of her
Because he was never there

[2x]
And she says, 'I swear I'm not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I'm not the devil'...



That is exactly how I feel. This was like my favorite song off the new album for a while and I would listen to it repeatedly. Then when I ventured past it I heard "Everything Changes" and I just fell in love! ahhaha...


What song do all ya'll connect w/ the most, (It can be off of any album) and you can add why.

I think mine really explains itself... bad relationship etc . etc.

Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, ever the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…

I'm not sure exactly, but I guess "Take This" off the new CD I can relate to the most. Particularily the line "It seems that even though she's with me I can't shake this".

That's all I can think of for now. Before it was Please when there was rumors about a certain guy wanting to fight me, but earlier on this month, that rumor was squashed.

I would say Everything Changes.... Bcuz if Someone just walked away what Could I really have said , but then who knows when its Just Him and Me like we could go thru things together I dunno that song for me is Very emotional, Devil is also one of those songs tooo. Please is a song about These Girls and how they sold me out bcuz of one thing trying to be all nice to me expecting me to be a certain way.. well thats just it from me

You should never let rumors get to.. Honestly I have said so much crap about people and people would said so much crap about me. Saying they wanna fight me, and me saying I want to fight them. Its really only a scare tactic!... Honestly all you got to do is fight hard, and if your gonna fall, don't fall unless you won't be able to get back up! People are such asses! haha.. Well I hope all is solved!

It is. One day, this guy walked in (I didn't know he did), and someone that was with me asked "Do you like (guys name)?". I looked the other way to find out he was there, and said no. In reply to what the guy who asked me said, the guy said "So, I don't care.".

Next day during lunch, some guy said that he wanted to fight me because I said I didn't like him. Because of this, I ended up leaving the school for lunch and spare, and I also stayed home for lunch for the next 4 days of the next week, before staying on the Friday.

On the afternoon of when Staind came here (Nov. 3), I went to a store with some people during my spare, and rather than talking shit about me and asking me if I wanted to fight, he said some positive things. Then again, I kinda thought that it was just a rumor, because the guy who told me is a very untrustworthy person.

Though I wouldn't be too surprised if the guy wants to cage rage me (in other words, come to this friends house and have a boxing match in his basement).

I agree with you! Devil is my fav song on chapter V and it describes a part of me that's always existed.. I don't know the real meaning of this song but I found one for me. Unbelievable song!!

Yeah Like on Devil when he says:

" I Always Fail to see the Little things Infront of me a way that means so much to you a way to let you know that I appreciate the way you always tolerate frustration in you shows me how u feel and I scream I swear im not the Devil although u think I am"

Meaning sometimes I fail to see what someone is showing me or how they Express how they feel about me i dont know its something of that nature , but its that I relate to.

Yea "Devil" although isn't really big w/ a lot of people, it seems. I think it was made so that everyone can connect w/ it in different ways..

In the first part he is talking about a girl:


She sits alone again
And tries her best not to pretend
That all she used to live for
Was the love that wasn't there

And every time she needs to do the things
That she believes
Will fill the void inside of her
Because he was never there

[2x]
And she says, 'I swear I'm not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I'm not the devil'


and this could be about a relationship w/ a father or a relative, or in my case a boyfriend...

The secound part is about a guy:



He tries to sleep again
And wonders when the pain will end
The cuts, they may run deeper than his cracking outer shell

He looks with tired eyes
At all the people hypnotized
And wonders what will save him
From his self created hell.

[2x]
And he says, 'I swear I'm not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I'm not the devil'


This one can be about a guy who ruined everything in his life or about a guy who let someone else or SOMETHING ruin his life..
Either way guy upset because guy ruined life

The last part is (I'm guessing) about Aaron:


I always fail to see the little things in front of me
The things that mean so much to you; a way to let you know.
That I appreciate the way you always tolerate
But sometimes when I medicate
Frustration in you shows me how you feel.

But I swear I'm not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I'm not the devil

And I scream,
I swear I'm not the devil.
Though you think I am.
I swear I'm not the devil.


and then this is where Aaron puts his little personal touch... I think you all get this part so...

But I think everyone isn't suppose to get the actual meaning of the song.. But your suppose to connect w/ it in your own way!

So yea I think this song was made for everytone b/c if it wasn't Aaron would just be singing about himself and he wouldn't have added another two people into the mix!
and that is why I <3 it! hahaha

I know Thats what makes the song soo Special is that Everyone can relate to it a little Differently like The Girl Reminds me about the Girls In My Community thats Desprate to get married somehow or trys to find love that isnt there. I Myself Indentify Mainly with Aarons Situation and I scream part hehehe Such a Great song.

Heres my list
"Tolerate" - Tormented
"Home" - Dysfunction
"A Flat" - Dysfunction
"Crawl" - Dysfunction
"Just Go" - Dysfunction
"Black Rain/Excess Baggage" - Dysfunction
"Safe Place" - Break the Cycle
"Fade" - Break the Cycle
"Epiphany" - Break the Cycle

Those are the, for the most part Staind songs that I could relate to. Now overall songs from other bands I could relate to, eh, I'll simply list the bands would be Tool and A Perfect Circle. That's it.

Okay well what Amotion did I am pretty much going to do, be there is no one song that describes how I feel. So I will post them from each album, except Tormented cause honestly I haven't payed much attention to lyrics on the album. I just enjoy it.

Just Go - Dysfunction
Me - Dysfunction
A Flat - Dysfunction
Crawl - Dysfunction
Spleen - Dysfunction
Epiphany - Break The Cycle
Take It - Break The Cycle
Yesterday - 14 Sahdes of Grey
Fray - 14 Shades of Grey
Fill Me Up - 14 Shades of Grey
Reality - 14 Shades of Grey
Blow Away - 14 Shades of Grey
Let It Out - 14 Shades of Grey (Hidden)
Runaway - Chapter V
Shitzophrenic Conversations - Chapter V
Cross To Bear - Chapter V
Please - Chapter V

Yeah so those songs are what describe me more often than anything. Or how I feel or whatever.


Longing For Something

Fill Me Up, I enjoyed, yet, I am not exactly in to love songs, I like it, but seldomly listen to it because of past experiences with a ph33male.

One of my most favorite Staind songs is Waste, I can't relate to it, but I know the history of the song. It's rather sad, but it's a very good song.

i relate most to "could it be" off 14 shades of grey


Well I don't know what to say
Because there's truth to what you say
I know it kills you I'm this way
There's something different everyday

Chorus
Could it be that I never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide
Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree?
Could it be that I'm only being me?

Not easy living in my mind
A little peace is hard to find
My every thought is undermined
By all the history inside

Chorus

Bridge
I know I hear the words you said
Over and over again
I just can't get them through my head
There's just too many voices
Must be like living with the dead
Waiting for me to begin
To do the things that I have said
And for this I'm sorry

theres so many i relate to and they have all molded together in my head.

Fade stands out the most though and Skitso Convos. its hard though. i can relate to almost every song, not the entire song but the words Aaron said it made me feel like they were all for me.
