Although this song has a demonic, or devil like feel to it, it's really about people who just take and take and take. They rip their flesh apart and steal their souls, steal their heart but leave the Mind intact. The reason they do that so the people can feel the anguish to its utmost extent. I certainly was one of those people when I was using drugs. But when I'm sober my heart is strong, my conscience is strong, and I'm a good honest person. Sometimes these people are hard to recognize, and they're very cunning and stealth-like in their actions. They may only take a little bit at first and they're very quiet about doing it. But then one day they take everything because you didn't even expect it. There are so many people out there like this whether it be world leaders, a friend, a spouse or girlfriend / boyfriend, you name it they're out there. And like I said, it's really hard to see it. They are very good at what they do.
