I think she was in one or more abusive relationships and has been traumatized by this, but she still comes back to them because to her it's better than being alone and it's the only relationship she knows how to seek out. She knew the guy before and he's seen it happening, and now she turns to him and he's in love with her, but she's still haunted by her mistake of being with those other guys and never listening to him, so he entreats her not to give up on him now. He remembers all of this but she doesn't want to admit it happened so it contributes to her past haunting her, and eventually she leaves (after two weeks, I presume).
But I don't know.

his voice isn't actually that high, he's going up into a falsetto. his pitch range is a good deal lower. but yeah, awesome song, the guitar is kickass. the meaning's pretty clear though.

i disagree with the temptation thing
i think it's more along the lines of he did something wrong and the demons are still following him. he tries to shake them off, but he's not looking away from them, and it's driving him mad to think that he did those things wrong and it still follows him around, and that he won't repeat mistakes. there's no repose from the past, and if he continues to look back at it, it's just going to get worse, because he's already scarred. he can't change the scars, but he can change how he faces them: instead of running away, he can face up to the past.
it's just about how looking back at the past, and making youself relive it every day makes you insane because there's still a present and a future.

it could be about manipulating people and using that to get to the top, someone has to dance to stay out of his/her way because they destroy everyone in their path to get there first, and it came from someone who wasn't suspected for it
i kind of agree with xoxo77, it could be about the devil, or at least someone who is using the same sort of tactics as the devil
then again, it could be a political song, politicians are said to tend to lie their way to the top

well, i've fallen in love with this song
and it's pretty much about people who are stuck in a whole and don't want to admit it, hence the dead people trying to hide that they're dead.
it's really a great song, with a very full sound

it's pretty much about disrespecting the troops, obviously. "someone's kid in the heart of america has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights so you can maintain a lifestyle that insults its family's existence..." it's blatantly about soldiers and the pharisee that support the troops as long as they're in the war, but once the latter return back to their country, the former then are "imposed upon" by the excessive amounts of people. it's also be the people that admonish the united states for its freedom and rights and they live here, which is obviously hypocrisy to a very high and asinine degree (the "generous hypocrisy" which pays taxes but doesn't support its own country)

i think it's about war (war in our blood, somethings never change, fighting for land and personal gain..) and how we're all selfish and lost in ourselves even if we don't realize it. most of us aren't right (in the mental sense of the word) and we should probably just accept that, becuase it's not changing anytime soon

xMeganSevenfold-i doubt it. that may have been the original name of the song, but it's more about how our lives are tumultous and somewhat like a rollercoaster, thus the term "the wild ride" and the phrase "this ride that takes me through life, leads me into darkness but emerges into light"

great solo done by synyster gates.
the lyrics are great: we make mistakes in life, and we are sinners, but we still have the chance to deliver ourselves from evil, this is one of my favorite songs

i think it's about how we're changing and we can see the situation from different angles as we change, so the situation isn't changing, but our standpoint is, so it seems like it is in our eyes. just my thoughts, though.
