North Hanging Rock Lyrics

Like I did with Poison Oak (Bright Eyes) and Proof (Coldplay), I teared up when this song came on for the first time. The tune is perfect to get this point across.

It's obvious there is a drug reference here. "Witness the demolition of a boy in prime condition" really sums up the use of drugs in teens these days.

"Tell them all I am so sorry/Oh, I wish I could have said goodbye" may be a suicide note, like he couldn't take it anymore.

I really think this song deserves more comments. BSP is just a magnificent band. I am in love with them.
