Told You So

About someone saying someone is getting what they deserve. He means no malice, but the tradegy is painless because "he/she did it to himself/herself."

He remarks about how he should have looked out for them, but that it was NOT his fault, and ultimately, you can't hold him responsible and he's not going to feel guilty about something he did not do.

He did hope for the best for that person, but it didn't turn out right and he'll just walk away.

It could be about AIDS, but the virus part might just be a metaphor, for a common problem/addiction/past-time which causes problems.

Great song. Listen to it. It means what it says. 'You have to let it go.'

are you sure? if it is than it wasnt a very close friend i see it as the end of a long relationship that has grown stale

thats pretty heartless if it is about losing a friend to AIDS. Where did you hear that?

I think it's about Keven's Bone cancer "A viral infection That can incubate for years Caused by affection Falling deep into arrears No medication to procure "

no it does seem like its about AIDS. He's lost someone to AIDS and the line about perhaps someday I'll greive or I never will could simply be refering to the way he copes with the loss or operhaps there were problems before the death.

Not to sure on it's meaning, but I found the lyrics very inticing. I lOve BNL!

He also knew what that person was doing, and warned him/her. They were friends, and now that he/she has suffered the consequences, he won't tell them "I told you so" and rub it in their face, but he DID warn them, and so it's no skin off his back.

see, i totally don't think it's aids at all. A. that would be horribly cruel and B. it just has a different tone to it, to me. i always figured it was about love lost, i agree with BrandNewJersey. To me, it's about moving on from a relationship that just went sour and there's nothing you could do-"no medication to procure...there's no cure" for this pain. and the relationship has "fallen deep into arrears", so it becomes incurable. and he prayed for this person, but now it's over. and just "have to let it go," like any relationship that is over. also, it should be, "I had myself fooled into NEEDING you," instead of "meeting." (straight out of the stunt booklet.)

Seems like a relationship that just went on too long. The love ended in it. Finally, the singer decides he's had enough of it and leaves. He realizes he doesn't even miss the woman at all. Maybe he never even loved her, but had himself fooled into needing her.

It's over. Maybe one day he'll feel bad about the breakup, but he doesn't think so.
