Tom Gabel wrote this song about a friend of his named C.C. who was killed. He wrote this song for her. The guitar line sounds a lot like "No Surrender" by Bruce Springsteen. This was also intentional, Tom said, because he and C.C. would hang out together and listen to him together. He said he made it that way so it would remind him of those nights he spent with her.

Wow, thanks for that perfect explanation, RebelAmongSaints.
