Only The Young Lyrics

I think this song is about when you go through hard times during your life.

It's almost like he is saying that only the young can take the quick way out (suicide) as they don't have the likes of family and children and partners tied to them. So they can break away if they want to, as they aren't hurting as many people. So older people with things tying them down have to turn to faith to give them hope, and to start again.
