Adam seems to be a strong, charismatic, jovial type guy. The kind of guy everyone loves, and the singer really looked up to, so it's unbelievable that Adam would just commit suicide, so he realizes that it wasn't as simple as everyone makes it out to be. It wasn't that Adam just decided to kill himself, it was that he fell under the weight of life and pain. And it's leaving everyone else to try to figure out if they can make it.
I had a friend, Dan, who was some yeas older than I and was pretty much my hero. He was very much like Adam as you describe him. I lost track of Dan somehow in the late '90s. Over the years I tried to find him but never could. Then two years ago I heard that he had suicided himself in '03. I was so shocked. If my friend Dan, who was so positive, always ready with a smile and a kind word, could do that, it was possible, even OK, for anyone else to take their own life.

The song is about the suicide of a friend.
