Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture james Average	#1 by james dempsey at Sep 14, 2005 at 5:46 AM EST
	chrissy, i don't know if that's what the songwriter meant... but that's exactly what i feel about the song.

No Picture tommy Average	#2 by tommy h at Feb 19, 2006 at 7:50 PM EST
	its amazing how opeth can be so heavy and powerful, and also soft and beautiful, and pull each off so perfectly

No Picture Nait Average	#3 by Nait at Jan 9, 2007 at 5:57 AM EST
	Yeah, Chrissy's right. It's about considering suicide, and wondering if life is worth holding onto. He thinks it's far too long until good times come around again, and he feels that nobody would care if he killed himself. So he's wishing that somebody would just be there for him and keep him from ending it all.

No Picture Erick Wanna Be	#4 by Erick at Jan 13, 2007 at 4:53 PM EST
	yup, i agree with the popular interpretation of this song and i guess i can say i relate to it. the speaker has a one-sided, unreturned love for a woman. he knows he should get over her and tries, but can't, as illustrated by the line "i try to forget you as you forgot me." there's no anger in the story so i don't have the feeling he's mad at the girl for being a bitch, just that she just didn't feel anything for him and they slowly drifted away from eachother. now he's really torn down by the whole thing and perhaps his other friends have grown distant from himself and now he really feels that nobody would care if he died. sad, but pretty song.

No Picture Connor Average	#5 by Connor Larkin at Sep 27, 2007 at 1:08 AM EST
	this song is about suicide and personaly reminds me of my own attempt. this song has talked me out of trying it alot of times. thanks opeth!
