July Lyrics

Only discovered this band recently through Spotify. Love this song.

In my opinion the song is about a man who has lost a friend, a girl, with whom he was in love. So he is distraught, feels hopeless and contemplates suicide (or at least the nature of life and death). He wonders why he was invited into her life only to have her leave. He feels defenseless and numb because there is no fighting death.
