These reactions are by far the most cathartic, and have been like therapy sessions in the sense of how much I’m learning and healing from them. They’re perfect for me to watch while I wait for my next therapy session.

My last break up broke my heart and left me with (along with other feelings) a lot of bitterness and anger, but none of it directed towards her. Perhaps it was directed at myself, but either way, I’ve never took control of my life as much now as I have in over a decade. If that’s what it had to take to force me out of this long subconscious acceptance of my meaningless existence, I’m grateful.

I would absolutely LOVE to hear you listen to Only by Nine Inch Nails or Everyday is Exactly The Same. Trent Reznor at possibly his most mature.

I started to know how to really listen to muzik when this album was released I think I was 11 yo. It unlocked my true self.
It’s cool that you get the real hidden message on a first hearing

Anger is a gift…
It’s a weird situation to be in, to try to use this kind of perspective to understand SoaD, because they were political messengers, not psychological. This song, from my understanding is about Los Angeles, if I recall. The homelessness problem, the drug problems of the time in general. But the other issue with meaning in SoaD songs is that chunks of it are extremely straightforward and clear, some of it is coded, metaphorical, ect… but also there is plenty of complete nonsense that essentially means nothing, because there wasn’t any deep thought behind it, it just sounded good. And pulling it all apart of figuring out what is what is tough. But the main thing to remember is that it is almost always political over anything else.
Hitler directed his anger as well.
During a performance at the 2005 Download Festival, Daron Malakian said that the song was about Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a condition that causes a person to have trouble concentrating.
Please you have to listen to “Sugar” by this guys, I simply LOVE IT
This song is about ADHD. Eating seeds as a pastime activity and many other lyrics are directly related to living with that disorder.
The way you describe things is beautiful, love the reaction 
Please react to Chris Cornell
I’m loving these breakdown videos and I’m loving the comment sections.
As I grow older, I find myself finding more and more of the hidden meanings in SOAD’s songs.
From what I have scraped together: these guys knew about the growing issues even in the early 2000’s. The (at the time) impending opiate and just overall pill crisis for Toxicity for example. Prison Song, self explanatory. Aerials, a song about finding your personal identity in a society that’s all about conformism and being “normal.” Deer Dance for police brutality. It’s almost prophetic how Toxicity as an album still applies today, if not even more so.
