The gallows of your heart

And where are your friends?
Please help me through these years ahead.
Playing with each other's dearest vulnerability?
That this is all we know?
So this is how it's gonna stay?
I think I
Would rather remember
How it was and go our separate ways.
I don't feel anything
Unless we are living and dying for each other
Every second of our lives.

The song "Scream" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the struggle to maintain them. The opening lines, "Everything, You got to hold on to Everything," set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer grapples with the uncertain nature of life and the bonds we form with others. The next lines, "The gallows of your heart," convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, as if the singer is trapped in a dark place and cannot escape.
The chorus of the song offers a plea for help, as the singer asks, "And where are your friends? Please help me through these years ahead." It's a vulnerable moment that reveals the fragility of human connection and the need for support and compassion. The next lines, "Are we just drinking buddies playing with each other's dearest vulnerability? That this is all we know? So this is how it's gonna stay?" reinforce the idea of the tenuous nature of relationships that can sometimes feel like they are held together by superficial connections.
The final lines of the song, "I don't feel anything unless we are living and dying for each other every second of our lives," are a stirring call to action, urging us to embrace the power of relationships and the transformative impact they can have on our lives. It's a beautiful message of hope, but one that is tempered by the knowledge that maintaining those relationships is not always easy.

Lyrics
Ever feel like dying, ever feel alone,
Ever feel like cryin', lost child in a store,
Ever feel life pushing, shoving you away,
Ever feel like breaking down, funeral in the rain
Feel like slipping away
Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head that's full of rage, better believe it!
Stand in the closet and scream with me
A mind that's like a fire,
Driven by the pain, better believe it!
Ever feel like lying, down inside a grave
Listen to the eulogy, a buyer of the hate
Ever dance beside the devil, taste the barrel of a gauge,
Ever pull the trigger, the light begins to fade
Feel like slipping away
Stand in the corner and scream with me,
A body full of empty,
A head that's full of rage, better believe it!
Stand in the closet and scream…

Mudvayne was one of those bands that helped me through dark times in my life. Anytime I felt like life just wasn't worth it anymore, I would listen to their songs like this one.

Dude, this is great... I've been a fan since L.D. 50 and this sounds nothing like their old stuff, but damn this is hardcore. "Ever feel like lying down inside a grave? Ever dance beside the devil, taste the barrel of a gauge? Ever pull the trigger? The light begins to fade..."

I was in 4th grade when this came out, mudvayne was my favorite band, I used to listen to every one of their songs literally everyday on my mp3 player. Either On the bus, playing outside, playing video games car rides, if I had a time to listen I would. I miss those days...
