Cover art for Four Years lyrics by Senses Fail

This song is very easy to understand. Mostly because Buddy explained it on their myspace page.

Buddy met a terminally ill fan (Marcel) on one of his tours he became very close to him. (Yellow Angels explains how me met and because close to him and all of their experiences.)

But one day his mom came to Buddy and said his cancer was worsening, buddy flew out there to spend all the time he could before he passed away.

This is what buddy wrote about it. “It was one of the most intense and stirring times in my life. The sheer pain this 18-year-old boy was in was mind blowing, yet his optimistic outlook and sense of humor was steadfast. This kid changed my life and although he is no longer with us, he lives on everyday in the pictures I took with him, to remind myself that life is never as bad as you think it is."

This song is written about his passing, how buddy handled it, what he felt like inside. He tried everyway to make it better, started with alcohol for a while, that made him empty, time wasnt even passing anymore. He could only give up and be happy he was finnaly free.

To understand this more, listen to the lyrics and think of someone who passed away, maybe from an illness? It will reach your heart and you will understand.

R.I.P. Marcel

actually you are wrong, this song is about him breaking up with his long itme girl friend. Its about how different he is now from what he used to be. and how miserable the relationship is. Hes an alcoholic now, fromw hat he is saying,. Take this chance is so wrong.

When she came home I made her sit. My feet tap out a rhythm as I draw breath in. To hurt the only one I've loved... This is so damn hard but I am giving up. The person that you love is dead; I flooded him out with the Jack and Jameson. So happy anniversary....

I don't check band's myspaces but the lyrics does not reflect that explanation, Yellow Angels neither. But I guess we are missing the big picture since that's Buddy's explanation to the lyrics.
