| I really agree with AquilaIncerta and TheeAbecedarian... he's just trying to justify tweo things: his hurting her, and his getting hurt. Like he says that he told her he could lie, he's a guy, etc., so he's saying these things as if he's telling her "you were forewarned," but he's more than likely he's telling them moreso to himself, as if he's saying "We knew this would happen, and it did" but both of them were too happy or too scared to stop it. | |

Sam Beam has a talent for bringing a thousand topics to the table in as few words as he possibly can. I think think this one is about bullying. A boy is being abused or bullied, and when the song starts off, someone, the "hero begging change" is trying to stop what's happening, and the bullies are "making sure the king won't grant the dead man on more day," meaning the hero may have been hurt or killed. I think the mother in the end is mourning the loss of the hero, and the boy waiting for a sweaty hand is the boy who lost his hero, and may possibly be waiting for more help. |
