1. Suffocate
Posted by Randal Wright on June 03 2009
Trying to give up drugs and drinking before it kills you.

  1/2  


2. Desensitized
Posted by THEamericanidiot04 on November 25 2009
this song means that you can kill youself and i wont care. its basically saying that you can do bad things to yourself and i wont care.its like showing no sensitivity to anyone.

3. You Lied
Posted by ell no#1 on October 25 2009
About how see-through people can be sometimes

4. Outsider
Posted by Nick123 on January 27 2010
This is a fantastic cover. It's about going to a new place and being rejected but mainly because they don't know what it was like where you were from. they've never experienced anything like you have (im an outsider, outside of everything, everything you know..) i know because this describes my life %100

5. Don't Wanna Fall in Love
Posted by 4thWarmasterKais on June 03 2009
This is a song about not wanting to be bound by a 'second half'; love to them is a waste of time.



6. Espionage
Posted by Jørny on June 01 2009
an instrumental made for an Austin Powers film.
The song is a kick-ass spy theme!



7. I Wanna Be On TV
Posted by smart person on July 30 2009
well, i think this is about a kid that just "wants to be on t.v." and do a bunch of shit celebrities do everyday. and how celebrities get what they want and can control the masses with some of the things they do.

  1/3  


8. Scumbag
Posted by Richard on December 23 2009
i think it's about a guy billie joe and mike knew before they were famous that they didn't like and after they became famous he came back and wanted to be friends only because they were famous.. i don't know for a fact just that's what i think its about.

9. Tired of Waiting
Posted by bass boy on June 01 2009
This is a romance song originally by the Kinks.



10. Sick of Me
Posted by whatsername on September 06 2009
I think this song is about a couple and one of them is sick of the other but they're not actually leaving their partner cos the line 'you're coming back for more' is repeated a few times. Also, Billie is saying he's completely unloveable, and he admits he's not a great person to be with.



11. Rotting
Posted by aylaKay on July 20 2009
Rotting is about someone who knows that their end is coming, and has basically given up to it. They can't do anything about it, and they are so far gone that there's no emotion left to show about their dying. They don't to want to try to stop it. "Black rose of death in my fist I clutch. Thorns shred my fingertips and drips toxic blood." He's not willing to let go of the thing that's killing him.



12. Do Da Da
Posted by Maria on October 25 2009
Hmm, I think the song also, beside the problems in life, is about a relationship, "waste with me into nothing, well now you're stuck with me". relationship on a bad day it sounds like..

  1/3  


13. On The Wagon
Posted by Leorizanzel on September 30 2009
It's a simple, melodic song about the narrator trying to straighten up and clean up his act for the one he loves.



14. Ha Ha You're Dead
Posted by Jos!e on November 09 2009
To me this song is about a bully who died and the victim is finally happy " Ha Ha your dead and I'm so happy , You were an A**hole and now your gone and when your ship is going down I'll stand out and watch you drown Ha Ha your Dead Ha Ha your dead" This is pretty harsh so it must have been about a bully who died.
