In Memory Of... Lyrics
Fighting tears, trembling voice straight to my ear
A moment I'll never forget
Someone I love, telling me someone I love
Had just been called to his reward
24, a leader of farther undared
We'll never be with him again
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Words can be the most beautiful or the most cold
I didn't know what to say
To a father who suddenly loses his son
I still think about that every day
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
Made the plans and backed out
Stayed at home and did nothing
But now I'm taking the 400 up north
The last time I'll ever see your face
I don't want to believe this is it
I want to believe in something more
Growing up wasn't easy for this boy
Who only wanted to live and do what's right
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel my heart when I hurt myself
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel the pain when I hurt my friends
I can't feel (I can't feel)
But it's taking you further, and further, away
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
From me (From me)
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
A moment I'll never forget
Someone I love, telling me someone I love
Had just been called to his reward
24, a leader of farther undared
We'll never be with him again
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Words can be the most beautiful or the most cold
I didn't know what to say
To a father who suddenly loses his son
I still think about that every day
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
Made the plans and backed out
Stayed at home and did nothing
But now I'm taking the 400 up north
The last time I'll ever see your face
I don't want to believe this is it
I want to believe in something more
Growing up wasn't easy for this boy
Who only wanted to live and do what's right
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel my heart when I hurt myself
I can't feel (I can't feel)
I can't feel the pain when I hurt my friends
I can't feel (I can't feel)
But it's taking you further, and further, away
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me
Break it down
Trace the steps moving to the gold town
Lost your past from me
From me (From me)
Take me down to the garden behind the old house
Sail away with me

Small corrections -
Break it down Trace the steps moving to the gold town Lost your past from me (should be = lost your PATH from me)
Made the plans THEN backed out
...I can't feel my heart when I hurt myself I can't feel the pain when I hurt my friends But it's taking you further and further away
Take me down to the garden behind the old house, sail away with me. Break it down, trace the steps, moving to the gold town, lost your path from me.
I think the meaning is pretty straightforward here, it is about the death of a friend and how it affected him and his friends along with him coping with it.
I asked Silverstein about this song and Paul Koehler (drummer) said, "the lyrics were written by Shane and depict a the true story of the loss of his cousin. most of the words are literal references to that time in his life and dealing with the pain." Shane in this is referring to Shane Told - lead singer. Super awesome band. I am so pleased to have a band that cares enough that they would take the time to share the meaning of their music. I am now sharing it with you.

This song is about a family losing their son. The family friend has no words at that moment to speak. Good song.
