Personally, I think this is one of their most overrated songs. It’s a little boring compared to their rest of their stuff. You should check out their song “What It Means To Be Defeated”. As for the what the song is about-First of all, the whole album is a concept album about a man who got in a coma and his thoughts while in the coma. This song is supposed to tell how he got in the coma. Although the music video doesn’t represent it well at all, what happens is the man sees a girl being sexually assaulted by some (multiple?) guys, he steps in, and gets beaten half to death trying to save her. The vultures are supposed to represent the assulters. Is it a true story? I believe the vocalist said the sexual assault part was supposed to be about a friend of his, I don’t know about the part with the man saving her.
