Meaning

During an interview prior to the full album's release, Lead Singer John Cooper stated 'We see something like the Boston bombing and it’s shocking, but not as shocking perhaps as it might have once been because of all the terrible things that happen today. And I think, ‘you have got to be kidding me!’ We are all sick of all this tragedy. The song is very angry sounding and very aggressive but that’s real – that’s how I feel about these things.'^[3]
