But it's interesting cuz i have a friend who believes it's about date rape ... it has always amazed that 2 people can listen to the same song and get two totally different meanings ... very interesting ... the power of the written word ... always been a favorite | Reviewer: mink09 | 6/23/08 I remember when I was about 8 and I heard this song for the first time and I absolutley loved it. And here I am 10 years later I listen to it just about everyday and think about what it means to me, and everytime I find a new hidden meaning to it. This is a truly beautiful song. such a special song | Reviewer: simbella | 5/30/08 I have loved this song for many moons since I heard it first around 98, 99. It's good to hear from the band about what the song really means, and it's interesting to hear other's interpretations, prior to reading this I thought there there was a girl who they both loved and lost. Having also lost someone near and dear to me to suicide, I think this song struck a chord with me I didn't fully understand until now. Thanks for such a special song. Keep up the awesome work. The true meaning behind the song | Reviewer: Matt | 5/27/08 Before they made it big, they were "freshmen" in the music industry; they had an adoring groupie who slept with band members. she became emotionally attached to a band member, wanted a more serious relationship. the guy told her basically he wasn't interested in anything more than a "friendly" relationship. she became depressed, and killed herself. the song has nothing to do with being pregnant, or abortions. From the band themselves... | Reviewer: msk | 5/27/08 Before they made it big, i.e., "freshmen" in the music industry, they had a groupie who slept with band members, lead them on thinking that she was important to them. she became attached to a band member, wanted a more serious relationship, the guy told her basically he wasn't interested in anything more than a "friendly" relationship. she became depressed, and killed herself. the song has nothing to do with being pregnant, or abortions. Wow. | Reviewer: kittyandSALM | 4/17/08 This song is an apology. It is about two male friends. #1 is dating a girl, and they are going to get married, but then she sleeps with guy #2 and breaks up with guy #1 without telling guy #1 about guy #2. She kills herself when he goes "on vacation," and he leaves because he suspects something. So, because she is dead, they are guilty for different reasons. #1 because he left her, and even if she did him wrong he still cared about her, and #2 because he knows what he did and the real reason she killed herself was because she majorly betrayed #1. #2 never actually confesses what he did, and this song is the apology. What this is about? | Reviewer: D TRAIN 45 | 3/31/08 You all are right about the girl getting pregnant, but you are missing one thing. The girl felt guilty and comitted suicide. The song says "His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept". Valiums are sleeping pills and since she took a weeks worth of them she overdosed and died. Meaning of Lyrics | Reviewer: Ramsey | 3/15/08 This song is about a guys best friend getting his best friend's girlfriend pregnant. He thought he knew everything and couldn't do anything wrong. The girl is a girl that has no worries, and believes that nothing bad can happen to her as well. She was enjoying what was being done at the time so thats why the guy continued with making love to her. He feels bad because he kept doing it even though he knew it was the wrong thing to do. He cant be held responsible because she acted like she wanted to do it just as much as he did. Plus she was in love with him more than he was in love with her. They didn't think anything bad would happen to them, but it caught up with them when the abortion happened and it haunts them all. The best friend feels terrible and needs to get away from what he did (vacation). The girl overdoses on pills because she is depressed and really regrets that she did this with her boyfriends best friend because she really was in love with her boyfriend. They try to wash it away but they cant because they have now realized the huge mistake they actually made. I think that when they refer to themselves as freshmen it just refers to them being young and immature and not knowing what's right and what's wrong. They say they can't be held responsible because they both know that they are in at least one way responsible for what has happened. That is what I believe these lyrics mean. different view | Reviewer: CB | 2/23/08 I think the songs about a guy who got his best friend's girlfriend pregnant. She confessed to her boyfriend and he left her (vacation). She commits suicide because she loved her boyfriend. Now both men pretend to be friends but deep down inside they both blame one another, which is why they both can't compromise. "We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say" means they still talk but they both end up fighting every time they talk because they blame one another. The Ironic part is the part where they say they can't be held responsible because they both know they are responsible. They try to blame her saying that its her fault for falling in love. "We've tried to wash our hands of all of this, We never talk of our lack in relationships, And how we're guilt stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor" means they both can't wash the guilt away. The lack in relationships parts means they are telling one another that the previous experience isn't hindering future relationships but they both still sob because the guilt is still there. The point about being a freshmen is saying that they were young and stupid with the evidence of never being able to compromise. When we are young we tend to think we are always right making it hard to "compromise". this song is about... | Reviewer: john | 2/13/08 this song is about to guys who raped and killed a girl. the one took a vacation to forget her. they dumped her in a river. they keep saying they cant be held responsible and they are trying to talk themselves into believes the victim liked it because she was touching her face. now that the two have raped and killed (and disposed) of the victim, they are guilt stricken and crying.
