The wording in this song sounded suspicious to me. It seems that the protagonist is not much of an honest person, since everything he says about himself seems vague or hard to believe (if you ever smoked you know that you dont just do it because you are bored, you might have started it for that reason, but as soon as u are smoking full on, you cannot just quit for the next hundred years). I think the intentions of the protagonist become much clearer in the chorus. He always apologises which means he fucked up. Also the words snow and ice might be references to drugs like cocain=snow and crystal meth=ice. So to me he is a bad person, that made someone else take drugs out of boredom/sadism "just to watch them crawl" or "catch them fall" or so he could control this person easier. Apparently the person died of an overdose, hence the line " I didn't think that you would take it all to heart" |

@[JucaOPastor:20637] Good point. I think if you arrange the line and switch "to pay" with "for you" the meaning becomes clearer, since all it say than is, that life wont take care of anything (hence the "to pay for you") unless you dont take care of your life. To me this song is about failing to reflect oneself properly and getting carried away by all the sorrow and obstacles in life, while all you had to do was to realise, that you are actually in charge |
