I can understand how this was E's way of letting out his emotions on his sisters' death...I have never experienced a death of someone that close, and cannot relate in that way, though. My own personal interpretation is that this song is about someone who leaves your life, whether through death, moving or some other fashion, and sadly, for other people things just seem to go on the same without them, as though they made no difference. For me however, my world would be turning a bit more slowly, and if it was someone as close as a select few of my best friends, it would be hard for me to go on without them as usual. I can relate to this very well right now, my girlfriend (as most people would call her, we personally dont like the label) recently moved to South Carolina, and while we are staying together, its been difficult getting along without her. And, although it doesn't have to do with this song, I really wish I could look at the postings for one song and have them not be people arguing over stupid stuff. And yes, I do have to agree with Deckard on this, the box I am typing in now says "What does this song mean to you?", not "what was the artist thinking when they wrote this song?"
