utopian. Thank you for that insight. I think the song is quite obviously about that. I'm sure the father discovers her diary after learning she's committed suicide on the news or something. "And then one day, she's gone What should I have done?" "And I rise to turn it off cause all I'm seeing is her face" I'm thinking this song is without a doubt about this situation. |
