To be blunt, I think its a song about depression and suicide. DEPRESSION He's repeatedly apologizing to the people he mentions Saying he's 'let them down' and when he mentions his lover he says he 'brings them down' 'But rain won't fall for the both of us, the sun won't shine on the both of us' he's basically saying that only one will make it through the depression and that it wouldn't be him, but that he 'wouldn't have it any other way' 'These days I'm fine, well these days I tend to lie' he's not fine, he's putting on a brave face, although in the brother verse the brother has noticed that he isn't OK now, this is all fine and good for the depression aspect, but depression doesn't make a suicide. SUICIDE 'Your time will come if you wait for it, if you wait for it It's hard, believe me I've tried But I keep coming up short' your time is referring to death... death will come if you wait for it, but it's hard to wit for it, he's tried, but he came out short. and he keeps coming out short, referring to the fact that he's failed in some way to wait for his time, to wait for death. I thought I wasn't meant to be, he thought he wasn't meant to be alive, if he was talking about a relationship he would have said WE weren't meant to be, but he said I wasn't meant to be. Once again, apologizing and letting people down 'But I won't wait much longer cause these walls they're crashing down', the depression has become to much I think he might have finally succeeded in his suicide, because the last words are that he came up short, the song is like his suicide note. |
