The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics 19 years ago
This is a difficult song to interpret, and when I go to SongMeanings to interpret songs, I like to ignore other people's ideas so I can have an opinion of my own. But I have to agree with the people here, the beginning verse seems like it would suggest a breakup, but the lyrics obviously steer through a drug addiction here.

Billy Talent – Burn The Evidence Lyrics 19 years ago
There's one man in the story (obviously) and he states he's 20, pretty young, he experiences a car accident.

(Hit the brakes, hit the glass,
Time to shake the hands of fate
The mistakes of the past,
Flashed before his face)

This is his fate; (To realize that his life hasn't been lived to the fullest.)

(There is a man, intensive care.) (Luxury Sedan) He had a car accident.

(Burn the evidence) He's getting rid of his OLD life. He wants to become someone new.

He feels cheated out of life; his parents stuck him on the straight and narrow.

The end of the song says don't shake the hands of fate; (this is separate) as he's not suppose to die.

The song is simply about someone going through a traumatic experience and becoming someone better than he was.
