Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Crash Average	#1 by Crash at Nov 6, 2006 at 5:03 PM EST
	I'm not sure about this part here: "The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could" I was reading through these comments and someone mentioned he cheated or the girl possibly threw herself onto him without his consent. Does anyone else have any input on what this line is talking about?

No Picture Paula Rhythm Player	#2 by Paula at Dec 21, 2006 at 2:22 AM EST
	Definitely about holding onto a thin strand of hope. I love how that hope materializes at the end, when the chords shift from minor to major and he says, "please just save me from this darkness". It's almost palpable at that instant.

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#3 by Ben at Jan 5, 2007 at 6:03 PM EST
	the chorus makes me think of huge waves crashing down around him and the metaphor of the 'weight of water' especially adds to this feeling....'This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long' gives you an image of shipwreck at sea in a terrible storm and the storm relates to there whole fight but the best lyric in the song is: "The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love" No idea what it means....but i agree with what dcraigross said about how the person dumping said 'i cant love you anymore' yet all the narrator heard was 'love' and that was it...either way there is just SO MUCH EMOTION in that line!

No Picture Chris Average	#4 by Chris Essery at Feb 8, 2007 at 12:04 PM EST
	This is one of those songs that just makes me stop whatever I'm doing and just listen. Brilliant.
