The song says, “We’re all guilty of the same things,” what a true statement this is. When, they are yelling at you, all red-faced, and torqued about what you have done, you are just as mad at them for not getting the facts straight before coming to you about it.
“Must Have Done Something Right” is another straight up positive song. It's upbeat and happy, a fun little party song. Some of the lines are cheesy, but it is a cute little love song.
“Give Until There’s Nothing Left” is about trying to give more of yourself and being conscience of when you’re asking too much of other people.
“Devastation and Reform” is based upon Thiessen, lead singer for Relient K. The theory is that to make our lives more interesting, we sometimes create our own conflict. This song features a bullet mike, which makes their voices sound all mid-rangy and almost old radio like.
“I’m Taking You With Me” is about missing people while you're away but taking them with you in your heart and in your thoughts.
“Faking My Own Suicide” is based upon the movie Harold and Maude. Harold keeps staging his suicide in attempt to get his mom’s attention. Except this song is about getting a girl to give you the time of day. This is not an emo song, but a folky, bluegrass alt-country song.
“Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care” wasn’t really suppose to be on the record. It was a last second thing, a joke. Thiessen was recording “Deathbed” with Mark Townsend, Relient K’s producer. They were working on something on the computer and Thiessen ended up playing “Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care.” He then begged Mark to let him put the track on the record.
“Bite My Tongue” is about bitting your tongue. Most people say things before thinking about them. Most people never learn how to get to that point and jut say what they think. This song is trying to make you think a little more before you speak and bite your tongue. Hopefully that will make people not hate you as much.

Hey... No offense, but it's really hard to take you seriously when you don't even spell check, you know? FYI, "To better my skills, and one day become a published author, and/or a reporter." is not a sentence.
