This song seems to be about a relationship with a woman, possibly one
which one of the band members had at a time. They seem to break up all
the time, but they always come back together afterwards and promise
that they will never leave eachother again, when both of them know
that it is destined to happen. He wonders how they could possibly
trust eachother after all of that.
This song is actually very similar to Trust in its ideas; these two
people have a relationship in which they know that they aren't
truthful with eachother, and they break up for that reason. But then
just a while afterwards, they seem compelled to get back together
even though they don't necessairily like eachother anymore. The
greatest fault with their relationship is that they are unable to
tell eachother about their problems so they just let the problems
build up.
This song sounds sort of like a crossover between something like
Hell's Motel ( MD:45 ) and one of the songs like Poison Was The Cure.
It is about the dangers of drugs and points out the unaccomplished
jobs in a life cut short by drug usage.. There are several sort of
puns used in the song, such as 'scores and shoots' which you can
probably identify with drug usage. The intro song is by The Searchers
and is called 'Needles And Pins'
If you have ever seen the movie The Net you'll remember the
idea that the computers are basically in charge of everything, and we
have to rely upon them to be right. So what if the infinite knowledge
which we have given these computers began to be used against us? We
wouldn't be able to stop it.
Though this song is supposed to be about the touring experience, like
The Killing Road and Rattlehead, this song takes a different approach
lyrically. Though it is true that a great portion of the song is
dedicated to describing the experience of the band coming to town
and having chaos break out, the song also focuses on the thought-
provoking lyrics of Megadeth's other songs; making people think about
their governments, and changing the way people think through songs.
It is kind of difficult to say exactly what the deal is with this
song yet. It seems that the narrator believes that they have been mis-
treated by someone and they are seeking revenge. What has been done to
them is never fully gone into, but it seems that the character feels
cheated by this woman because she was seeing other people. Her actual
relation to him is never mentioned, so it is hard to tell if she is
his wife or someone like that. I guess the song is sort of the
opposite of Reckoning Day, which is 'not about revenge...'
This is about a guy who is mis-treated by a few people at a
sensitive time in his life, so he goes out and kills a whole lot of
people in order to let out some aggression and make himself feel
better. Kind of a return to Good Mourning/Black Friday, except not
half as violent and descriptive.
Again, there is no word on the intended meaning of the song yet, but
it definately seems to be a song about drugs. The secret place is
within the narcotic shell which the drug builds around its user. Once
you come into the place ( try the drug ) you won't be able to get
yourself out of the shell which it creates for you; you'll be hooked.
The people who do the drug are ashamed of it and they resist telling
others about their addictions since the rest of society kind of shuns
the drug users of the world.
This song is supposedly about Nick leaving the band, since he was
considering it for a while. Dave had a dream about Nick actually
leaving and it inspeired him to write a song about it. Have Gun/Will
Travel was the name of a TV show during the 1970s or so which was
origonally supposed to star Bruce Lee, but was someone else instead
because of racial issues. Anyway, that's where the title comes from.
All I can say about this one is that it seem that the band wanted to
have a little fun and get away from writing extremely meaningful songs
all the time. This is a cool song about a 'she wolf,' somewhere along
the lines of a wherewolf, I guess. Not too much of a point to the song
unless you use it all as a metaphor.
At this point, I am unable to conclude what this song is about. It
may just be about a really angry guy, but I have a feeling that it
goes deeper than that.
This is a song about the fight for independance, hence FFF, which
stands for "Fight For Freedom." Unfortunately, there's not much more
than that to say since I do not have enough of the lyrics to come to
any more of a conclusion than that.
