There's a train leaving town,
If you hurry up I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
Conscience is a faint, unpleasant sound,
You've worried enough, here's your chance so take it
Dammit I hope you take it
A heart attack is sleeping in your chest, waiting until the timing's best
So make a move, while you're still breathing
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows you're built for sin
There's a lie, for every truth,
If you take these pills, I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
When you were mine, was I for you,
Just one cheap thrill just to help you make it
Dammit I hope you didn't fake it
Hypocrisy has really aged you well
The white on your nose is your secret to tell
So you should speak, while they're still listening
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows your built for sin
You can scream out loud
But your panic falls on deaf ears
This is where you've brought yourself
And this is what you've always feared
There's a faceless crowd, with no sympathy
So you can scream out loud
But there's no one listening
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows your built for sin
If you hurry up I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
Conscience is a faint, unpleasant sound,
You've worried enough, here's your chance so take it
Dammit I hope you take it
A heart attack is sleeping in your chest, waiting until the timing's best
So make a move, while you're still breathing
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows you're built for sin
There's a lie, for every truth,
If you take these pills, I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
When you were mine, was I for you,
Just one cheap thrill just to help you make it
Dammit I hope you didn't fake it
Hypocrisy has really aged you well
The white on your nose is your secret to tell
So you should speak, while they're still listening
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows your built for sin
You can scream out loud
But your panic falls on deaf ears
This is where you've brought yourself
And this is what you've always feared
There's a faceless crowd, with no sympathy
So you can scream out loud
But there's no one listening
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows your built for sin

This is the actual meaning of the song. He said it in an interview.
This song also reminds me of my mom.. She doesn't do drugs but she does drink alot and it keeps on getting in the way of my life, we've tried getting her help, but she just wont get it.
I'm tired of her BS.
I know no one probably wont read this but I feel better posting it anyway.
There's a train leaving town, If you hurry up I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
Having second thoughts about going through with suicide or someone who knows what the person plans on doing and has the opportunity to stop them - if they take action before it's too late.
Conscience is a faint, unpleasant sound, You've worried enough, here's your chance so take it
Dammit I hope you take it
The person is constantly thinking about how their death may affect family and friends and how he/she may still have chance to stop and go on living life.
Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows you're built for sin
"Say so long to innocence",Bidding farewell to all the people he or she knows and loves. "From Underneath the Evidence", could possibly be a note he/she leaves behind before killing themself. "You taste like heaven, but God knows you're built for sin", the person may look fine and behave normally on the outside, but may be suffering and struggling on the inside.
There's a lie, for every truth, If you take these pills, I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it
Friends and family members become suspicious of the suicidal person and question them. He/she lies and tells them that everything is fine. The parents,friends,or boyfriend/girlfriend encourages him/her to see a psychiatrist and is prescribed antideppressants to combat the emotions they feel. Everyone beleives this will make everything better, but things only get worse.
When you were mine, was I for you, Just one cheap thrill just to help you make it
Dammit I hope you didn't fake it
Things are rocky with the persons girlfriend/boyfriend. His/her significant other questions wether they were only meant as someone to lean on and ask for help or if it was meant to be a serious and reliable relationship. His/Her girlfriend/boyfriend eventually breaks up with him/her.
Hypocrisy has really aged you well
The white on your nose is your secret to tell
So you should speak, while they're still listening
The suicidal person claims he/she would never think about killing themself and the constant pressure of keeping up their facade is really beginning to wear him/her out. "The white on your nose is your secret to tell", the suicidal person is keeping their plan secret and is debating wether or not if he/she should tell someone before its to late.
You can scream out loud
But your panic falls on deaf ears
This is where you've brought yourself
And this is what you've always feared
There's a faceless crowd, with no sympathy
So you can scream out loud
But there's no one listening
The person finally goes through with the suicide attempt but changes their mind once it is too late. the line, "But your panic falls on deaf ears" could mean that the person committed suicide by drowining themself and screaming for help while underwater or the person is struggling to escape the noose around their neck if they were to die by hanging.
"This is where you've brought yourself",your death is your own fault.
"And this is what you've always feared", he/she has always been afraid of death.
"There's a faceless crowd, with no sympathy", The world has no sympathy for you and your death. You should have saved yourself when you had the chance.
"So you can scream out loud;But there's no one listening",You can struggle, plead for help, and try to escape, but it's too late.
"There's a train leaving town, If you hurry up I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it"
I was thinking, death is often refered to as 'the long black train' or the 'black train'
Maybe he's saying "Hurry up and die, I hope you make the death train" I know that sounds horrible, but that's another view on it.
"There's a train leaving town, If you hurry up I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it"
Hmm, maybe he's talking about help, because I'm sure this song is about a drug addict. Maybe the help they need isn't going to be there forever, and he's hoping they'll take advantage while they can.
"Conscience is a faint, unpleasant sound, You've worried enough, here's your chance so take it
Dammit I hope you take it"
Like, they were always worried about their conscience. They were always worried about having that giulty feeling. Now, he's saying take whatever, don't worry about it.
"A heart attack is sleeping in your chest, waiting until the timing's best
So make a move, while you're still breathing"
I honestly have very little clue by what he means here. Maybe it's something will happen to you if you don't make the move to get help?
"Say so long to innocence
From underneath the evidence
You taste like Heaven, but God knows you're built for sin"
As a drug addict, you lose your innocence. and, 'You taste like Heaven but God knows your built for sin'
He's saying she looks so good and innocent, but god knows she's a drug addict, a liar, etc.
"There's a lie, for every truth, If you take these pills, I think you just might make it
Dammit I hope you make it"
Maybe he's tempting her to take drugs? Maybe he's the one who got her into drugs.
"When you were mine, was I for you, Just one cheap thrill just to help you make it
Dammit I hope you didn't fake it"
He's thinking that maybe he was ment to be a one night stand and not anything special. That maybe she fakes it when she says she wanted something more.
"Hypocrisy has really aged you well
The white on your nose is your secret to tell
So you should speak, while they're still listening"
He's saying that she always said she'd never get into drugs, she wouldn't do it, only horrid people do. Now look, she has the 'white on her nose' he's keeping her secret, but he's waiting for her to share it with everyone else. He's saying "Tell them now before they turn their back on you"
"You can scream out loud
But your panic falls on deaf ears
This is where you've brought yourself
And this is what you've always feared
There's a faceless crowd, with no sympathy
So you can scream out loud
But there's no one listening"
She's waited too long to tell them, and they've stopped caring. They have no sympathy for her because she let herself get that way, she didn't get help while she could. It's what she's always feared- for everyone to turn their back and not listen.
I may be soo wrong about this, but thisis how I see it.
