The tempo in this song is upbeat and it stays this way for the whole length of the song.

The dynamics of this song change quite rapidly throughout the song. It starts of being soft, and then by the chorus it is loud. The second chorus is soft again, but then the chorus is loud again. It stays loud for the first bridge, but becomes soft for the link section and third verse. It becomes loud again in the chorus and the second bridge.

There are no backup vocals in this song, it is just the main singer the whole way through. His voice is rough for the loud parts of the song, (which are the high points,) and then becomes softer in the quieter parts of the song.

In this song there are 4 beats per bar. The music is minor, as it has an angry tone to it.

The song changes texture throughout it. In the into, verses and link section, it is thin, but in the choruses and bridges it is very thick.

In this particular song there is repeated patters from all four instruments. On the website 'Ultimate Guitar' the guitar chords stay with the same pattern except for in the bridges, where it changes.
