Saved by the Bell

My initial thoughts are that this is something about an unwanted pregnancy, or something that was stopped "just in time." Why would the singer cry for "You" and then cry for two? I died for you, I died for two." (Did he pay for her to have an illegal abortion? This was 1970 or around there.

I'll live for you, I'll live for you, I'll give to you. (He lied for her too)
Hmm. She is still alive.I think he is guilty about something but I have researched on the web for the meaning of this to no avail.

Strange lyrics, but I hope somebody has an idea.

Song from a Baby's point of view? Interesting take actually...

This guy's girlfriend took off with another man. It was a rough breakup and he took his own life in grief. "Saved by the bell on your own carousel..."- He let her off the hook, the guilt of her breakup with him and with her crazy, mixed up whirlwind life...the carousel. The "bell" was his suicide, the note he left, the voice mail..the whatever. Now he'll never have to know if she ultimately loves this other man just as well. He went to his death thinking she wouldn't love him as well, but now he'll never have to live with being wrong. I've based this opinion on several misconceptions I initially had with the lyrics, but I think it still works as such. I always thought the last lyric of the chorus was, "Now, I walk down "The Great Lane"...the great "highway" to the pearly gates of heaven. I died for you. I died for two..."two" being he and the woman or the woman with her new man, either relationship being possible here in meaning. "I lived for two" (I lived for you..the two of us together). "I'll give for you." (I'll give my life for you..for your total happiness with another man. I'll take myself out of the equation, because I can't live without your love. The song has some darkness,( sadness if you will,) as do most ballads. I've always like the ballads of song.

my take on this saved by being dead what else there is to say. like you learn a lesson or two i die for you i die for two

would you love " the dead man" as well, like maybe he might have bee taken for granted

saved by the bell for not being able to answer to questions or questioned for

would he be better dead than alive- i live for two now die for two however yo take that im gone

i let you off the hook - no burden upon you now

It's not " the great lane", it's " Now I walk down Heartbreak Lane."
