| This is deffo a song about loss, AND youth passing you by. My strongest memeory of this song revovles around my mates' funeral - he was only 17, and this was played as all his old schoolmates walked ito the crematorium. The theme of loss and lost youth was quite appropraite, obviously - to us, this was what had happened, and what might yet happen. Even today, I sometimes think 'my god, it's been so long!'. I might be retromapping it onto the song, but I sometimes wonder if it's not specifically about a death of a friend while you're at at a young age, or a breakup endured in youth. 1 | |

| I love this song. Best bit is the start of the second verse, the line "When you're secure do you feel much safer / As days never change and it's three years later" Perfectly describes my time in college! | |

| I like the bit about your life passing you by without you even noticing, I guess it's saying you have to make the most of life and have fun because otherwise you waste your youth. It could be about relationships, it could just be about life in general, it's too short to be depressed all the time and indescive about what you want-you have to make up your mind and go for your dreams! I think they then counteract this view by saying "you held the world in your arms tonight, AND WHAT IF YOU HELD THE WORLD IN YOUR ARMS?"-maybe they're critiscising hedonism and saying you should be considerate of others. | |
