So Long Farewell Lyrics
I tried my best with the lyrics, I wasn't sure about a few spots and they weren't posted anywhere online yet. any thoughts on the meaning? I think its about a religious girl who is depressed. Or religion plays some role in her sadness, explaining all the references such as jesus, mary, purgatory, etc...This song makes me so sad.
I personally like to think this song is about a friend of the singer's who committed suicide.
I wanted to help so badly But my help just prolonged her decent She's the saddest music in the world tonight
He tried to help her but it only prolonged her life, not actually helping her.
I kind of agree with you
I kind of agree with you
Justin did an 'essay' type of thing for this book, I never read it but I heard it was about a girlfriend of his who had a drug/alcohol addiction and she died. (Not sure if that's completely correct, but that's basically the situation)

So I think it could be about her?

thought the same thing that it was a song aout a girl who commited suicide or drank herself to death

For some reason when I hear this song I think of a small child who is being taken care of by someone such as a relative when she has lost her family. This is probably not what it's about, but this what it makes me think of it. For me the person that this song talks about sounds so completely innocent to me.
This seems to be about a girlfriend who has a drug or alcohol addiction that is ruining her life. No matter how supportive he is with her, she keeps on her cycle of getting wasted every night and sleeping through the day. At some point he realizes that his support is doing nothing but slowing her plummet to the bottom, so he decides to leave her. It is obvious that he thinks the world of her, but leaving is the only option left. He hopes that she can pull herself out of her downward spiral, and will be there if she does.
This is a change of pace for Justin as the roles are usually reversed in his songs like in Resolution where his girlfriend is taking care of him after his benders.
