I've always wondered what this was about. Someone who died, and left everyone who knew them feeling empty, maybe. But I think there's probably more to it than that. Anyone?

"So haste the day we waste away like you/ and although the pain has left your chest/ It seems it was transferred to the rest of us who stayed." I love those lines.
