grrrr people look beyond the "girl and a boy who..." shit! every single song has a flood of people saying thats what it is, but nooo. this song is part of the concept album! again! jeesh.
ok so a recap: he lost his faith when some tragic thing happended to him and no higher being helped him. the light failed him, so he called religion fake and turned his back. THEN, he began drinking, fucking, doing drugs (bonecrusher is a street slang for crack i believe) to numb the thought that he know knows he is all alone. he feels betrayed, he put so much into his religion and it failed him.
Then with Can't Be Saved, he looks at himself and realizes just how much he has fucked up, and that he will in fact not be saved, because there is nobody to save him.
This song is supposed to make you wonder, Why exactly is a police radio saying they have another victim/ what did he do??
This song is written in sort of a suicide note form. He is just stating that he has let everyone down(including himself) repeatedly, and he has realized how much better everything would be if he was gone. This is him saying, hey im going to just end it, and when i do scatter my ashes so i wont be found. He told everyone he would just let them down, but nobody believed him.
This song is building up to the climax when he leaps from the building. so sad but soo good.
