okay, here's what i think (this hasn't been brought up yet). I tried again, I fell again To find out for myself It hurts For a lifetime i think this talks about trying to find fulfillment and satisfaction and purpose in things apart from Christ. the rest of the song i think talks about when we do cling to Christ and put our hopes in him, we feel filled and healed "With your photograph to sooth the scars" thats what i say.

i agree with the people that say its about loving someone and not getting love in return, wanting somone so much but they are out of reach. the way that they mix the clean vocals with dans screaming along with the same mixing for the guitar make this one of ZAO's best songs. the way that dan screams, even if people that dont listen to ZAO often cant understand it, are emotion in themselves.

Maybe the song means that he wishes the one he loved, whether it be lover or relative or friend, would be back because they've died. When someone really close to you passes away, you can't stop thinking of them. It's always sad to see that happen or to experience it, but we must move on..it's a part of life.

i love the lyrics but i dont think its about how you feel after a break up .. i think its about how you feel when the one you love is so close but to far to grasp.. "i tried again i fell again to find out for myslef" finding out if the love you give is returned. "it hurts for a life time" finding out its not returned... " i will dream of you" even thouhg that love is not returned u know you will always remeber it
