Guarded

This song is about a woman who is guarding herself from the love of a man. It appears this man is tired of getting shut down and sells his soul to the Devil, which is why the Devil is laughing because the woman now has no one and he gets the man's soul.

David Draiman, the band's lead singer, had to make some pretty big sacrifices in his life to become a rock star. One of them was love (at least for the time being - he married WWE star Lena Yada in 2011), because it's difficult to trust other people's motives when you're famous. He said the hard-hitting track is "about how choosing this way of life, this path that we are on, some more than others. You force yourself to be guarded. The lyrics are me speaking to myself. I made this decision to lead this sort of life and therefore I'm unfortunately deprived of certain things, like love in a true sense."

According to Draiman, this was chosen as their third album's lead single "to just whet everybody's appetite." He added: "It's one of the more aggressive tracks on the record, just to remind everybody where we came from and who we are."
