His Mom is still alive.. In the lyrics. She tells him he looks good in his vest. haha. When i listen to this song I think of the meaning behind it. That not everyone in school was popular and had a perfect upbringing. The kid in the song was very shy, confused about life, and being beat by his Dad, and he felt pressured to make his dad happy because of it. The whole killing of the girl was just symbolism for "I'm confused, and I'd DO ANYTHING for her, and anything to please my Dad" He felt good about himself that day, was dressed up, but was beaten down and laughed at by all the other kids when he asked her to the prom. I like how they put the twist on it with her reply to asking her to the prom.. "I'd rather die".. and he took her literally and actually killed her. Like the mono-toned principal's voice too.. that say's a lot. haha
