“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

This is about getting back at people who treat you badly. Around this time, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit would bash Creed lead singer Scott Stapp at shows. The lyrics "At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head" mean if you're going to bash me, do it to my face. The song was basically written about Durst. (thanks, Matt - Morristown, TN)
Comments:
Creed spent losts of money on the music video and it turned out to be a major flop with not a lot of airplay in the U.S. Around this time many critics were critising Creed and compared them unfavorably to Pearl Jam.

Brad, you told us that it's not about Durst, but that's not all that helpful unless you tell us what it's really about.

The guitar work in this song isn't hard, but its fast fingerwork gives the impression of a maniac about to shoot someone.
