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.

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.

This beautiful song hits so close to home..... | Reviewer: Brittany Johnson | 1/31/08
This song is extremely difficult to listen to...
My first love T----- and I's relationship was/is eerily similiar to this. A couple months ago, I thought I was pregnant, thankfully I wasn't, and a month or so later I ended up in the hospital for a month because of some family issues and because I wanted to kill myself. Well, when I was in the hospital my parent's found out about us having sex and it all went bad from there. He wouldn't speak to me....his parent's thought I was the school slut (WHICH WAS NOT TRUE!). Anyway, our relationship pretty much ended...I loved him and still love him so much, I would give my life for him. I was/am so hurt. He told me that one day he would marry me. He seemed to take no blame for anything...I tried to fix things between us...but I guess it wasn't in his agenda. He is currently dating my fraternal twin sister...it's really hard to see them together, and
I can't see myself with anyone else....I feel like a part of me is missing. Can anyone identify? If so please email me: nunquam_congruo@hotmail.com
This song is really sad. But I love it. | Reviewer: Lindsey | 1/17/08
Well this song is about a guy getting his girlfriend pregnant. When it says "I be can't be held responsible" it means that the boyfriend says it's not his fault that he got her pregnant because "she was touching her face" which means she was enjoying it. "And now he's guilt stricken sobbin' with his head on the floor" means that he knows it's his fault he got her pregnant and he just doesn't want to admit it (well it's her fault too because they both made that decision).
So that's what I think it means. So anyone that has anything to say too bad. Because I don't wanna hear that crap.
my favorite song in the world | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/14/08
i can honestly say this song changed my life. in my opinion its talking about his first love. his first love was with this girl who was a "punk who rarely ever took advice". first of all, i think its "stopping babys breath". I think this part is talking about the punk who had to have an abortion when she got pregnant, and the shoe full of rice is about a wedding, but i really have no idea what. then when they say "his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept". This is talking about his best friend's girlfriend killing herself when he broke up with her. She obviously over dosed. Then the part where he says "we felled through the ice when we tried not to slip" means that they were so busy trying not to make any mistakes that the mistakes they did end up making were so much worse. To rephrase it would be says, when we tried not to slip we fell through the ice. The rest is obvious, they aren't responsible for the pregnancy or the death because they were young. And they really didn't know everything. and to let everyone know, this is just my perspective of it i don't know if its accurate or anything. but i love this song with all my heart.
