Lyric discussion by Badone 

There is a mistake in the lyrics in the chorus; it really goes "..and when you finally came out there would still be NEW chances for you"

This song is a dedication for a person that made a crime and commited suicide.

The chorus is the singer's critique of the act of the person; the person could have gone to prison [in 10 years or so..] and come out with new chances.

In verse 3 we learn that the person commited suicide by drowning ["noticing water is friendly sometimes"]. "Yellow surprise" is a reference to the meaning of yellow as the color of cowardness.
