Any ideas? Anyone know? I never even knew what the words were for the longest time. Reading the lyrics gives me some clues, but I still don't know what it's about.
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

    Here's another thread about that. I don't see too much need to echo what was said there.

    Thanks Yeah, I get the whole "eing faithful" bit, but then there's the references to suicide. I just don't get it as a whole. Oh well, like someone said, it's just a great song to rock out to.

    Frankly, it reads like another serial killer/murder song to me. Like the protagonist has killed someone -- perhaps accidentally -- and then contemplates killing himself.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    To me it feels like he was just so in love with someone and when it went bad he was torn up.
