My interpretation is that the song is directed to all the newspaper writers and review writers and paparazzi that are constantly poking into his private life and writing about it, and how he's laughing at them all for it. Like how obsessed they are with what he's doing when he's not onstage, and writing lies about him and things that they really have no business writing about. i.e. The constant reviews that Creed is a Christian band... when, if you simply looked at the words to the songs, and to what they (the band) have actually said, you would know that it's wrong. Or the constant comparisons to Pearl Jam, when it's obvious that they are nothing like PJ, both in sound and lyrics. It's like the song makes reference to writers (or people) who talk, but don't show themselves (hide in shadows). And he's laughing at the people who are now obsessed with his personal life (I laugh aloud 'cause my life has gotten inside someone else's mind). The chorus, to me, seems to reflect his anger about people printing lies without actually looking at the facts (see above) and passing it off for truth in hopes of damaging some of the fame and popularity that the band has worked hard for (At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head). The last verse, to me, seems to be like "print a good real story about me, and I'll appreciate it forever, but why do you print all this hatred for me and my band?" I don't know... that's just my interpretation of the song... and I find it very hard to find biblical reference or connection to it that Paul is referring to. At times, some have to admit that not every Creed song has something to do with a religion, or a book, and I think that this might be one of those songs. But that's just my opinion. ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ http://www.isyourgod.com NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com Admin@AmericanPearlFan.cjb.net NightStorm_Draco@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
