    My take on that line is during a breakup, it can be tough to say who's right or wrong in arguments. At the same time, when you step back at look at the situation, you can clearly remember instances in the relationship where you were the good guy or bad guy in the way you treated the other person.

    Sort of like: "Who said what first" is difficult to say for sure. Was I an asshole during that time period? I'll know that clearly if I look deep down.

    What I think of this line is that nobody or nothing can tell us if our actions are right or wrong unless it affect others.
    All the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives.

    I think he's trying to say you shouldn't judge other people's actions as black and white... hence right or wrong.

    Good and Bad is more of a gauge... it's more the grey inbetween right and wrong.

    I think he means that wrong or right is in different peoples perspectives, and soem people/assemblies may think that doing something is wrong, some may think it's right. Liek stealing a loaf of bread to feed your kids, it's humainly right but not legally correct. However it is a good outcome, hence the "good or bad" section.

    I WAS gonna put an awe inspiring thread about good and bad but seems you already did it. nice to see some people arn't so nieve to the world. im surprized to see that most people nowadays havn't even got a clue on the basic things in life. like treating humans equally. i mean we are all of the same race yes. i could understand if half of the planet were aliens but were not. we just need somthing to hate and blame due to the way the world is run. sorry if ive gone off the point but im ashamed of most of the world for giving in to life by getting through the day as quickly as possible instead of trying to fill it up with things to build on our spirits. things we can actually take with us when we die.

    if somone is going to challenge my words then feel free.
    Fuck me if i say somthing you dont want to hear,
    Fuck me if you only hear whats in your head.
    Fuck me if you can, coz im not leaving here.

    If your intentions are good...nothing you do can be wrong

    If they are bad, nothing is right.....

    If anyone is familiar with the philosophy of Relativism then this line is very poignant. There are some great replies on this thread, though.
