Timothy Lyrics
Ends and means redemption /
Of your past are painful reminders /
Take these wings /
And make good on all the promises un-kept in this life / The judgments weighed against you /
Fell away to embrace your memory again /
Take these wings And make good on all the things that were controlling you /
And then destroyed you and your short breath of life /
Fulfill all of the unsaid promises you made /
To family and friends /
Through blessings and understandings /
And I can't seem to understand why /
The end of your pain meant the end of a rope /
But I guess it's the only freedom that you've ever known / The price you've paid is dying alone
Please bless this child /
All that he's dreamed / All that he worked for /
Every dream /
Make his love, his compassion /
Inspiration to us all

Obviously a song about suicide...
Very good song, At first I tought the song was
to happy for a suicide song, but when you think of it.
Why should it be sad after all this person has been trought
I don't think this song is about suicide i think this song is about a friend who has died jsut talks about how we should admire what he's done and take his life to inspire us to be good people and live our lives the way we want to live them.
isnt this the song about his brother going to war and dying out there alone? dont think its about suicide, despite the obviously give away.
i really love this song. great but sad lyrics and the piano part at the end is briliant. does anyone know something about the background of this song? is it a real story or fiction?
this song is so sad! boysetsfire is capable of writing really beautiful songs when they want to...i love the piano part.
this song is so beautiful. One of bsf's best. The piano part gives me shivers down my spine every time.
Since all of the experiences I've had with death are from suicide, that's what the song means to me. RIP Tobias.
"The end of your pain meant the end of a rope" is the line that seals this song being about suicide. Dude hung himself to "end his pain".
@Rjg237 could be more metaphorical meaning too ... when you reach the end of a rope it generally means you are "gone"
