It had been awhile since I even herd the song. I had remembered only the lyrics, "Step back from that ledge my friend" and I would understand. I never really got into this song and really didn't know the Lyrics to it at all. And its rattling me every since this morning. (ever hear of the bible?) So many interpretations people go to war. Unless the Band members have came out and directly explained what the lyrics mean everyone is going to have their own interpretation of it. The Song is going to have different meanings to different people. You could put the past away (FORGET ABOUT THE HARDSHIPS) I never thought it would come to this (NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN)Įveryones got to face down the demons (EVERYONE HAS TO OVERCOME THEIR TRIALS) Youve been dismissed(NO ONE WANT HIM AROUND BECAUSE HE IS HOMOSEXUAL) What theyre doing here (THE DEATH IS UNEXPECTED) Well he's on the table and he's gone to code (SOMEONE CLOSE HAS DIED To say put the past away (EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE) I know somethings wrong (SINGER CAN TELL THAT HE IS HIDING HIS HOMOSEXUALITY) Youre the flash of light on a burial shroud Youre way too loud (CLUES THAT HE IS UPSET) You know you don't belong (NOT LIKE EVERY OTHER BOY) Icing over a secret pain (TRYING TO HIDE YOUR HOMOSEXUALITY) The angry boy a bit too insane (TOO UPSET ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION) I would understand (EMBARASSED THAT THE SINGER KNOWS THE TRUTH) You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in (DENYING HOMOSEXUALITY)Īnd if you do not want to see me again I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend (ITS NOT WORTH SUICIDE)
