| I think this song is about someone who died maybe his girlfriend, wife, friend or whatever, like when he says "Send me letters from above" above maybe is in heaven | |

| I think this song is about a loved one dying,a girlfriend our a wife. "Take these roses off of me Let me live, let me be" doesnt mean he is dead,it may mean he feels dead.he is ready to start moving on,but he wants to make it clear he will never forget her and that while she is gone he still needs her close. | |

| ((No comments? On a single??)) Well, it's fairly obvious that this is about the speaker's wife/girlfriend/partner/whomever dying, but I've got this story I'm positively stuck on so here it goes. Romance between an older guy and a younger girl. The man was basically the girl's mentor in whatever given field and fell in love with her. Girl was smart and ambitious and unsatisfied with donating any portion of her life to anything other than work. Man couldn't understand that at all. Girl left him for a higher position, despite any sacrifice of her "humanity" or what have you ["let my eyes see everything and nothing in their time; i will not mind" - this is the girl speaking, observing people from afar, being detached and fine with it]. "Call me teacher, call me friend"..."Call my name, it echoes in the walls around this room, it's all you," is the man observing how she's risen above and beyond him mentally and being proud though they're not together anymore. Yeah. So it's pulled out of nowhere and makes very little sense, but there you go. | |

| Yeah, I think he's toast too... I think the roses-on-him parts give it away. Though I think this song would have been better if they saved the "roses off of me" part until the end (and didn't say it at the beginning), because then one would have thought that it was his partner who died, when they find out at the end that really, it was him. (This worked well, of course, in the movie "Sixth Sense" and one of the better books in the Goosebumps series, #10 "The Ghost Next Door".) The only part in question is when he says send me letters from above... but perhaps above means above ground, as he has been lowered into it. | |

| I dunno about the man being dead. It sure as hell makse more sense than a few things in my head, but the way he's so adamant about " And I wanted you to be Everything to me And now I've got to learn to carry on And I know I cannot hide this emptiness inside Nothing is the same since you're gone " I think the Emptiness inside is pretty easy to work out, and you'd use different words to mean the same thing if you were dead. Sorry for not adding anything constructive... | |
