Obviously about a friend that commits suicide, but I get the feeling that the rope/knot is a bigger metaphor for something else. I'm not sure though? It can't be that simple, with a BNL song.
@rokbom Took me all these years to find out it was about someone who hung himself, but looking at the lyrics, it was so obvious!
I think the rope's significance in this song is from the friend. In the first verse, he teaches the character who kills himself how to make that knot, and when he found out his friend hung himself using that knot, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Imagine buying your friend a gun and taking them out to a shooting range. Later, you find out your friend shot himself with that gun that you bought him....
Imagine buying your friend a gun and taking them out to a shooting range. Later, you find out your friend shot himself with that gun that you bought him. You would probably feel really guilty and sad. But you didn't know your friend was going to do that.
