I had that happen to me. My sister and I like this band but she really likes them and goes to shows.

As a kid I didn’t really know what rage was singing about until my mom told me what each song was talking about.

So when he say “Fuck you. I won’t do what you tell me.” They think Zack is saying, “actually that sounds reasonable. Kill those guys.” ?
