Songfacts®:

  • "Knives and Pens" is about people being judged, and even though they are misunderstood, they'll stick together to stand up for what they believe in. The video is basically Andy Sixx (lead singer and this song's composer) explaining how he can relate to his fans and how he knows what they are going through because of his non-traditional appearance. His main message is "Never Give In." >>>
