Candlebox Lyrics


Candlebox is a Seattle-based band that formed in December

vocalist/guitarist Kevin Martin (not related to Bardi), and
drummer Scott Mercado. They took their name from a line of

Review about Candlebox songs

So true when someone cares about can't see | Reviewer: Tom
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

Excellent song ....

And the Lyrics can actually explain how difficult it can be to deal with someone who has an addiction . the reference to "friends" within the song I find quite Ironic , and think is the actual purpose . Making "you feel" so bad , is I think a normal feeling for someone who yells and screams at someone to wake up and see what is going on to try and revert them to the someone you remembering them to be . The suffereing portion I can also see , as most people who are addicted to drugs suffer from some sort pain .


The pain that is most potent is the pain that is suffered from all involved , husband , wife , child , mother , father , brother , sister etc.

Being left behind in my case is not a case of losing my spouse in life , but , in spirit . My spouses "friends " are no more than enablers and drug traders than "friends "

My explaination of a "friend" , and the interpretation of it by my spouse is quite different .

This have never been clear ..... the lyrics in this song I think show how
a persons perception of "friend" can be very misunderstood , and , in the end does not mean "friend " .



I couldn't share the pain | Reviewer: Matthew
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

My counselor told me that I never tell her about the pain within me after I told her I was facing suicide. I sent her an email today telling her of my plans for committing suicide. She called and we set an appointment for tomorrow. I wrote in my journal for 3 hours after I hung up and got it all straightened out in my head of what I am going to say. Tomorrow I share the pain.

    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

I jus turned 23 but at age 14 I was already in love or thought it was love. Drugs had already taken my life over even at that age. Yes Meth being my main drug. My love was jus as worse as me. A lot of things happend and changed in a year. Things that scare me today. Things no one should ever have to go through. My Love left my life at that time by committing suicide. Have of it was my fault.


yesterday i heard this song | Reviewer: The Living Dead
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

It's been awhile. 2 kids who knew each other took their own lives last week, why? I'm jealous that I don't have the strength to do the same. This song speaks to me and everyone who has thought about it, tried it or lost a loved one to it.

My husband lost his brother to suicide, and he said he was broken, and then he became depressed and I almost lost him. I loved this song when I was younger and it means so much more now all these years later.

    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

my brother committed suicide 5 years ago and althouh i had heard this song plenty before i still never knew what it was really meant to say.till i played it over & over again one day and as i learnt more of the lyrics the more i become obsessed with it.anyone who knows the real meaning knows that it is a song that expresses his fellings to his deseased bro whom also took his own life. this song helped me so much during the hardest times of my greaving that i feel that its not just a coincidence of how and when it caught my attention.i dedicate these words to my late baby brother(primo)this is every word down to the tee,that i would say to him if i had one chance to tell him how i fel about his leaving me far behind.im still angry but will never forget you.i love you bro.always & forever.sis

she's almost gone | Reviewer: eddie
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

And I'm pushing her away.. When she tells me what she needs, I take it like a blow to my ego, like I'm not good enough, but it's me, isn't it? I keep doing what doesn't do, and not giving her the chance to speak.. We had something, and now that's all we have, and we can't get it back..I love her SO much. I can't let her go,nor she me, but I don't know if we can stop it from haPpening. But why does she have to spite me, and make it easier to hurt her?? Is she really asking me to let her go? I want to scream, but there's only tears.


For you Bubba Smith | Reviewer: Carebare
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

I spent 10 years with a wonderful man but couldn't handle the addictions he had to alcohol. Only to find out after 6 months of use being broken up he tried to kill himself by throwing himself in front of a car on the highway.

I will always love you but I can't love you with the additions and you will not get the help you so need.




My life as a wife, mother and addict | Reviewer: GF
    ------ About the song Far Behind performed by Candlebox

When I hear this song it makes me think of years of addiction and self destruction and not being able to share with my family.. My husband was there and he did treat me bad at times and this just lead me further into addiction and I couldn't share the pain. I had what I thought were friends that watched me suffer and my world crumble down, as I lost jobs, cars, family and friends but most of all myself. I still love my husband and we are married but apart. I hope someone reads this and learns to share and not leave that person far behind like I did. I just hope one day we will walk beside each other again.
