According to vocalist David Draiman, "Guarded" is about how his lifestyle forces him to guard himself. He said, "It's a song that reflects what choosing this life forces certain people to do in a certain way — you have to remain guarded on a certain level."^[2]

Release

"Guarded" was released to radio stations as a promotional single on June 28, 2005. David Draiman said, "[The song] was put out there to just whet everybody's appetite.
