MJWhit518 - I feel the same. I still get sad and a little angry that he died. -Unlike Cobain. I like Nirvana's sound but not Kurt or his lyrics or suicide. A&C had so much talent. I think this song is about him rebeling against the norm and doing drugs like a 'good' young musician then he realizes the people that tried to keep him straight were right, but he has gone too far. He's begging for help now and the last line "Say goodbye, don't follow" That's his message- tell your friends goodbye if they offer drugs- don't follow them/him.
