"the end of the worlds in front of me. hard to believe all i see. it comes so close but pulls away to let me stay another day" sounds kind of like it might have something to do with suicide, like as in he was going to kill himself but the feelings pulled away and he stayed and lived on. I have absolutely no idea but thats just what that line is saying for me. I like mest but i don't know a lot about the band themselves so i don't know if suicide has anything to do with it at all. But i do agree that it is talking about climbing obstacles in your life and looking back on them but then also looking onwards at the obstacles that lay ahead.

i think tony said he was looking out at the ocean when he wrote it. "the end of the worlds in front of me. hard to believe all i see. it comes so close but pulls away to let me stay another day"

this song hits me hard. this guys is simply amazing.. the point of the song is, no matter how tough it seems, there's always something better out there. no matter how bad a choice you make, there will be something out there to make it all seem better. basically, don't give it up, cause you'll regret it in the end.

This song is pretty amazing and it's very inspirational. I'm glad I heard it 'cause lately I've been dealing with a lot of anger and sadness... Everything seems like nothing will ever get better.. Every time I get my hopes up I'm let down again and again.. At any rate, this song is basically saying don't give up - everyone has their troubles and everyone is fighting a battle at the same time that we are. Just think of the hard things you've gone through are just another thing you can cross off in your book and move on. Bad things always happen. That's life.

this is one of my favorite mest songs right now. i think cause it just seems really soothing, usually i like faster songs but for slower it is great.

This song has to be my favorite Mest song and one of my all time favorites. I think it basically means no matter what chance you're losing something better will always come along. No matter what's going wrong in your life it will always pan out somehow. I think it also has to do with growing up "changing what I once thought, letting go of what I once fought, there's a life that you need to find, all that surfaced has changed my mind." Overall, it's a great song.

ok...I think this song is about suicide because it says "the end of the worlds in front of me. hard to believe all i see. it comes so close but pulls away to let me stay another day." hes means that he whants to kill him self... but he knows that things might get better."the things that i see never end, tricking my mind to just pretend." that part of the song means that bad things are never going to end and the only way out is suicide. anyways I LOVE THIS SONG BEST MEST SONG!!!

i love the imagery of the waves coming in and going out like the end of the world in front of him.
