Within Me

{{cquote|'Within Me' was a song that we wrote for a friend that basically, it was not suicide, but basically he let himself go by using drugs a lot. He passed away 3 or 4 years ago now. The fact that we couldn’t do anything. It was not suicide but it was just abusing so he let himself go in a way that we couldn't do anything to help him out. He was in New York and we in Italy so it was tough to stay with him. We were on tour, we had other things to do. So, the idea was that sometimes you want to be there for your friends but you can’t be there. That time we were not there we lost him. It was the first time that happened to us as a band, that you know somebody and work with him and he died like that, in a stupid way. So we learned to be stronger people with that. We learned to deal with situation that you can’t always have control of.|20px|20px|Andrea Ferro|Anarchy Music{{cite news |last=Anarchy |title=Our second interview with Andrea Ferro of Lacuna Coil |url=http://www.anarchymusic.net/2007/05/andreaferro |work=anarchymusic.net |date=23 May 2007 |accessdate=27 May 2007}}}}

The song was generally well received by critics. PopMatters said of the song, "It’s formulaic, but at least this band knows how to work the formula well.".
