Arthur Nix Lyrics

i think this song is more about comitting suicide: "did your arm heal faster than your heart did" meaning that though the wounds fade, the memories don't, or what drove them to it didn't or what-not...also: "you might need it to outrun what's on your mind," which is saying that he needs to get away from what caused, or aided, in its happenings... maybe i'm completely off, but, alas, i'm an ass.

When I saw them live Ben said he wrote this for his friend Arthur to cheer him up.

I think I saw the same show as Splitends, and Ben did say that he wrote it for his friend, and I think that Arthur may have actually gotten in a bicyle accident, and Ben was trying to say that he will always have the memory, but the scars will always be there, but he has to face that.. I don't know, but I like the song!

I have seen the band only twice, but I vaguely remember hearing that it was in fact a song written to cheer up a friend.
