Dude. I'm only 19, but I remember every single album The Used released because my sister (7 years older than me) was the biggest influence on my musical interests and this was one of her favorite bands. I'm just glad they haven't sold out and still kick ass like they did back then.

[@MistyRoseRocks]

I'm 62 and I'm still listening to them AND saw them in concert 2 years ago. Also saw the night Bert spit water on the stage at the beginning of this song and he fell and broke his hand AND he performed the rest of the entire set. I was backstage when EMTs came and wrapped it up. Bert is an amazingly dedicated performer!!

[@ClothesTCG]

Fuck yeah keep going

[@JezzyWolf]

I saw The Used headline Taste of Chaos a lifetime ago, and they opened with this song. And almost immediately I witnessed one of the best...if not THE best moment in a live show ever. I have loved you guys ever since, and I always will. Thanks for an epic memory.

If you knew anything about Bert, you'd know he had a drug problem. This is what the song is about. "Don't make it look so pretty burning" as in don't make drugs look so glamorous because it will ruin your life.

[@vermillion6805]

HAH im six years late but it turns out, it says "to me it looks so pretty burning". imo, he means he loves the drugs, and loves the way it is ruining his life in a weird, twisted way. idk lol just my take on it

[@DL-dj3qe]

@@vermillion6805 You both are correct actually. Both lines are used different times in the song. "to me.." is used first and then "don't make..." comes toward the end. Thanks for sharing what it's about it though. I never really thought about it, which is weird because I used to have a serious drug problem years ago. I guess the drugs is probably why I wasn't really analyzing anything; just being fucked up everywhere.

[@mockingslur6945]

Let it Bleed on the same album is more obvious.

[@backwoodsjunkie08]

I knew it! When i would shoot up id feel that "burning inside" before id nod out. Crazy how i listen to this song before i was a junkie... Here it is almost 15yrs later and i just noticed what it was about

[@breannwade4071]

That's interesting and thank you for sharing that bc that put the whole song into a perspective. I have never even considered it being about drugs! I always loved this song, would frequently go straight To it, as I did today. It's just been a sort of power ballad for me thru the years. Gets me excited and feeling just uplifted. It acts as a drug if you will...

1:11 Chemical Romance? I see what you fucking did there. I see what you fucking did.

[@ihatenignugs69]

musicmakergirl91 Its not an MCR reference. Chemical Romance references his methamphetamine addiction. That's what this song is about.

[@piercetheovaries]

Alexander Taves I know a chemical romance is a reference for a addiction but i just thought it was funny how that was around the time they were good friends with mcr

[@shaleemichelle]

I feel like it was a purposefully abstract reference; I think it could be referencing either or.. But considering the fact that, "Pretty Handsome Awkward" was about Gerard after The Used/My Chem's fall-out, I wouldn't put it past him tbh.

[@ihatenignugs69]

musicmakergirl91 Yeah I agree, it probably had a dual meaning. We are probably both right. As for Shalee, I don't know if you like the new Used but I think its absolutely horrible. I wouldn't even call it "selling out". It's just plain bad. Their first two CDs were good. The first was the best. Fantastic even. Everything after those we complete trash and when I hear it, it makes me embarrassed that I like the first two. Its sad, really sad. If you like all of their cd's youll probably say I'm not a true fan, when that just isn't the case. I just don't like gay ass music. But if you don't like their newer stuff either, than all the better. Cheers.

[@shaleemichelle]

Alexander Taves Honestly, I have to agree; I really like their first two albums as well, but it seems to me that they've lost their touch or something. For me, they've always been one of those bands that certainly have a bit of a distinctive sound. (I really like Bert's voice in general tbh) I honestly can't imagine why they would bother to put out an album that they would consider to be so unsatisfactory, (since I've heard a lot of people saying similar things, I can't imagine that they didn't realize it wasn't up to par) instead of perhaps scrapping it and starting over? (Then again, studio time and budget may have played a role, too) But I totally get what you mean tbh; I'm extremely picky about quality music as well, and I prefer to call it as I see it. (No worries though, that "true fan" stuff kinda doesn't apply with The Used, because I'm more of a casual fan of their music..I'd say my favorite band is probably My Chemical Romance) But thanks for throwing your opinion out there, I'm glad we could agree!
