I can't believe you're still debating this one. Please. Listen. He did NOT see someone drown. He did NOT kill someone in an alleyway...sheesh. It's just like the whole Kurt Cobain thing, which I have no comment on btw. I'm sure you all have heard of symbolism? Yeah? Ok. Apply that to this song. Like when Bono says, "The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground" (in Beautiful Day), that doesn't mean that your heart comes out of a pile of dirt and blossoms. Right? Right. Ask your English teacher, please.
