My own take on the lyrics come from personal tragedy. My grandson (age 17) and his girlfriend were both struggling with addiction. They were in the process of transitioning out of rehab and had been clean there for 90 days when they were found embraced together in bed, both dead, from a heroine overdose. Months after, his dad introduced me to this song. In the lyrics, we seemed to find a strange sort of peace, a different slant on how it was for them at the end, a way of looking at it from their angle rather than wandering aimlessly, lost in our grief. We found something in the lyrics that strangely resembles comfort. |
