ok this is going to be long.
i just created an acccount so that i could comment on this song.
first off, this song is amazing, no questionning, even though i didn't know anyone up there in the twin towers it means so much to me and everytime i hear it i cant help the tears crawling down my face, even when im just walking down a road and it comes on my mp3 ill get so upset and yet so joyful at the same time, it gives me so much hope for the human race in general, showing that there are some people willing to give their life for people they don't even know. Yet at the same time 9/11 showed the worse in the human race by the people that crashed the planes.
only 20 people were pulled out of the rubble alive in ground zero.
yellowcard's violinist was in the building that day and the firefighter that lead him to the exit kept saying 'everything's gonna be alright' and later on that day the firefighter died, this song is a tribute to him and they are saying that because that firefighter gave up his life for him, he has to do something good with his life and he wishes he could just say thankyou. The violin in this song is amazing. can you imagine that feeling? knowing that someone who had just saved you died and you didnt even get to thank him?
Imagine the person you love the most in this world, get a picture of them in your head, think of all the good things they've done for you and remember all the good times you've had with them, an uncountable number of people would have said goodbye to this person in the morning, this person would have gone off to work, gone off to work, and never came back, can you even imagine that? its practically impossible to imagine but it happened to so many people on 9/11 and it would have been more if it wasnt for the heroes of the day and yellowcard are thanking that.
there were 4 planes hijacked and supposed to hit buildings on the 9th of september 2001, two hit the twin towers, one on each, and one hit the pentagon and the other landed in a field. This is because some really heroic passengers on that plane knew they were going to die anyway, so somehow took over the plane and crashed in a field instead off another building, so therefore saving billions of people. and to think that we call footballers or actors heroes, that is what you call a true hero, and it makes me just want to scream and cry and hit everything simply because, it's not fair, why do the good have to die?
The firefighters were taking their job to the extreme, they didn't have to risk their lives to save others, but they did, because they believed.
'Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile' This part of the song completely sums it up for me, saying there gonna be thankful for the things they have, like their family aand allways let them know how much they love them. Then saying that they have to make it up by making a difference like the firefighter that saved him did.
refering back to the song, the speech under the song is taken from a speech at ground zero, so without a doubt it is about 9/11 but some of the lyrics sot of remind me of a christian meaning about jesus dying on the cross for our sins, so everything is gonna be alright and also, living in the image of christ, wanting to be like christ 'wanna live a life like you somehow'.
the last bit saying 'they can never forget' is true, it can never be forgotten, ever.
I'm sorry for the wishywashyness off this comment but theres so many things i want to just scream out but i cant put it into words, and ive only just started with this little bit. This is my ultimate favourite song and its so hard to explain what i feel and this kinda just sums it up, with some hope.
