i was abused as a child and because of peer pressure from family members not to tell the cops (it was a family member-in law who did it) i never got totell the police. for me the parts of this song that stand out are "get off the ledge and turn the knife- not a victim of a victim's life, this aint a room full of suicides, we're believers, i believe tonight..." because i dislike the trouble i have with ptsd, so i sometimes blame myself for things i do wrong, which, as this song suggests to me, i shouldnt.
also, i like the parts about "save yourself tonight" because so often i feel bad for needing to talk to a counsellor or friend when i'm blue, and there are times when it's really hard to deal with it alone, but this is like an affirmation or "i can do this!
Also, "Well the good guys die and the bad guys win (who cares!)
It ain t about all the friends you ve made
But the graffiti they write on your grave" i fear the bad guy got away and that he's won, but he's killing himself with drugs, so that's good, and people what been told what he's done, whether they belive it or not, so at least that's what he'll be known for, i'll be known as a kind, talented person with lots of friends, he's child abuser who turned to drug using and made his children hate him.
