First of all I love this song and album. I have two feelings about this song. This first idea is that the song is about a friend/loved one is continuing to hurt the narrator. The friend has taken a wrong road in life. The narrator has tried to help but can not get the friend to change and he can not deal with the issues anymore. My second theory is pretty close to the first, but I really think the song is song about the narrator himself. He sees his alter ego and knows it is wrong how he acts, but cant change. He considers suicide or just drowning his sorrows in alcohol. I think to me the last line is what leaves me to believe this theory. I don't believe a person ask god to take a friend from them, but you would ask god to change yourself. Who knows songs rarely mean what you think they do. |
