    Everybody's only talking about the awesome performance, nobody seems to notice the amazing Lightshow. I see you, light technician. You did good.

    This song is about depression and the constant war between his optimistic self and his darker side.
    "In many ways I AM the burden that divides us from the light
    In many ways YOU ARE the the halo that keeps my spirit alive"
    (He is talking to himself.Realizing he controls his own damnation or his own salvation.
    "If I survive I fly from here,
    But as the chosen pessimist,I carve my name in stone"
    You can choose to survive and take flight, or you can be the CHOSEN pessimist and carve your own tombstone.
    Terrific song.

      ''come faith, i'm dying'' he is literally asking faith to come to him because if he is left to his own devices he just goes back to pessimism ''erase,my free will, and watch me heal'' . man..... this song is fkin good.

      it's interesting you view him saying "I carve my name in stone" in the negative, with a tombstone, and I view it as a positive, like carving your name in stone for the future to see, leaving behind a part of you with the world. Absolutely love this song, and I your view on this song is absolutely wonderful.

    • @HassanSiddiqui6
      @HassanSiddiqui6 7 років тому +1

      Matthew Cohn I would say the majority of In Flames fans seeing as how this is pretty much how they sound like these days. And artists usually tend to play songs live that are singles and/or popular which this song is neither.

    "Between love and hate which path to follow" always brings me to tears. The melody is so beautiful and the way he goes from signing to screaming was exactly what I felt when this album came out. It was a time when I was deciding whether to kill myself or try to go on and live. I hope anyone else thinking the same chooses to live. Will life be easy? No but it can get better. Get the help you need. Dont stop trying. If I had not chosen to go on I wouldn't have my beautiful wife and lovely baby girls.

    Tell me which side I'm on
    Approaching constant failure
    Tell me which side I'm on
    (Who's friend or foe?)
    Approaching constant failure
    Between love and hate
    Which path to follow?
    How can I keep balance in this race?
    Come faith, I'm dying (slowly)
    In many ways I'm the burden that devides us from the light
    In many ways you're the halo that keeps my spirit alive
    Temptation
    Play the good or evil part
    With me, you evoke the dark
    Erase the free will and watch me heal
    Tell me which side I'm on
    Approaching constant failure
    Between love and hate
    Which path to follow?
    How can I keep balance in this race?
    Come faith, I'm dying...
    Amused by the trials and tribulations
    If I survive I fly from here
    But as the chosen pessimist
    I carve my name in stone
    I carve my name in stone
    Amused by the trials and tribulations
    If I survive I fly from here
    How can I keep balance in this race?
    Come faith I'm dying...

    Not a favorite song for me off the album but live this is gold. So much emotion in this live performance. They really draw you in. I love it.

    I think that's one of their best, I don't understand why they don't play it more often, do you?
