Lyric discussion by OctaviusMAC10 

Cover art for Sum of 1 lyrics by Butterfly Effect, The

yet again. I think this is another song where you cannot simply look at the lyrics and feel the meaning explicitly making itself known. Like all abstract pieces of art, you have to take into account every color and stroke of the brush that makes a mark; all the strokes that contribute to the final piece we hear audibly. The lyrics are but a preclude to the meaning. i think the second verse is the singer responding to the actions of the person he refers to in the first one. "How do we stop this happening again?

                 In the second verse he (singer) narrates the actions of the person succumbing to the inevitable:

                "The first cut sharp and stinging. How do we stop this happening? The Lines drawn and so it begins."
                "All the love in the world can you say that you never had. Can't justify and don't understand..."

                The song is about suicide and the innocent soul that insufficiently understands  what their actions will mean to those who care... the after effects of such an act...

i think its about a abortion, it to me is like he's talking to a girl begging her to not do it, but she does.
