I got a faulty parachute
I got a stranger's friend
An exciting change in
My butchers blend
A symbol on the ceiling
With the flick of a switch
My new found hero
In the enemy's ditching
Well somebody's something was left in the room
And man now that its gone well of course we assume
That somebody else needed something so bad
That they took everything that somebody had
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
The mark was left
Man it's never the same
Next time that you shoot
Make sure that you aim
Open windows with passing cars
A brand new night
With the same old stars
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
Feed the fool
A piece of the pie
Make a fool of his system
Make a fool of his mind
Give him bottles of lies
And maybe he'll find
His place in heaven
Cause he might just die
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You're not the only one that's afraid of change
I got a stranger's friend
An exciting change in
My butchers blend
A symbol on the ceiling
With the flick of a switch
My new found hero
In the enemy's ditching
Well somebody's something was left in the room
And man now that its gone well of course we assume
That somebody else needed something so bad
That they took everything that somebody had
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
The mark was left
Man it's never the same
Next time that you shoot
Make sure that you aim
Open windows with passing cars
A brand new night
With the same old stars
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
Feed the fool
A piece of the pie
Make a fool of his system
Make a fool of his mind
Give him bottles of lies
And maybe he'll find
His place in heaven
Cause he might just die
Losing hope is easy
When your only friend is gone
And every time you look around
Well, it all, it all just seems to change
But hanging on is easy
When you've got a friend to call
When nothings making sense at all
You're not the only one that's afraid of change

Nothing trustworthy enough to rely on. Being friends with someone who is a stranger is not a friend at all. There are new changes in life that are not liked (most likely not planned) and he is calling out for a hero (symbol- flick of a switch... batman hero signal) that may frighten the enemy (I take this as God and Satan)
Well somebody's something was left in the room And now that its gone well of course we assume That somebody else needed something so bad That they took everything somebody had
People in this world will take what you have and are willing to hurt you in order to help themselves. We are selfish people. Most likely he was let down somehow by the person he felt was his best friend
Losin' hope is easy When your only friend is gone And every time you look around Well it all, it all just seems to change
This line is what drives me to this song. Oh how I hate change.
The mark was left, man, it's never the same Next time that you shoot make sure that you aim Open windows with passin' cars A brand new night with the same old stars
The damage is done; I guess you can say their relationship will never be the same once that trust is gone. Make sure you’re letting down the right person next time. Cars passing by can symbolize you feeling stuck in the same troubled spot.
Losin' hope is easy When your only friend is gone And every time you look around Well it all, it all just seems to change
Feed the fool a piece of the pie Make a fool of his system, make a fool of his mind Give him bottles of lies and maybe he'll find His place in Heaven 'cause he might just die
I take it he is being ironically sarcastic to whoever hurt him... letting em know there was serious damage done and it hurts so bad... he might just die
Losin' hope is easy When your only friend is gone And every time you look around Well it all, it all just seems to change
But hangin' on is easy When you've got a friend to call When nothin's makin' sense at all You're not the only one who's afraid of change
Where do you buy friends like these is my question? I just recently lost touch of my best friend. I’ve never had a friend like her and all of the sudden we slowly stopped texting and hanging out. God it’s already hard for me to open up to people and there’s no amount of anything that can replace a good friend. I need you in times like these Oli :(
When you have someone on your side, such as a friend to call, it makes gaining hope easier.
I am using he/she.. just for convenience...
I relate to this song since I am in exactly a same situation... :-)
But my interpretation might be wrong....

I got a faulty parachute
I got a stranger's friend
An exciting change in
My butchers blend
A symbol on the ceiling
With the flick of a switch
My new found hero
In the enemy's ditching
***--> I think this is the state he is in right now... falling deeper and deeper... total confusion... everything happened so suddenly with the flick of a switch the relationship broke
--
Well somebody's something was left in the room
And man now that its gone well of course we assume
That somebody else needed something so bad
That they took everything that somebody had
***--> he had developed dreams to be with her and it got taken away by her... because she needed so badly a change.. that was inflicted with the flick of switch
--
The mark was left
Man it's never the same
Next time that you shoot
Make sure that you aim
Open windows with passing cars
A brand new night
With the same old stars
****--> he is in pain... in real pain... next time make sure that you aim... i.e. pick the another guy to "hurt" him.. not me...
Open windows with passing cars... I think he is weary to meet another one.. he mistrusts new girls because of the pain he suffered... this guy is really in the thick of it...

Feed the fool
A piece of the pie
Make a fool of his system
Make a fool of his mind
Give him bottles of lies
And maybe he'll find
His place in heaven
Cause he might just die
--> this is what she did to him before they broke up.... she was great to him, making him pies, feeding him, nurturing him.... making him drink...bottles of wine... his mind started creating illusions...
and now he says: go on.. feed the fools.. (this is how you operate... you make men into fools and then you kill the relationship)
Girl-2 he just met.. but he cannot "connect" to her because he is still thinking of Girl-1. All I posted above was about Girl-1.
Girl-2...is found in the "My new found hero, In the enemy's ditching" and in
"Open windows with passing cars, A brand new night, With the same old stars"
("Next time that you shoot, Make sure that you aim, Open windows with passing cars")
I like the message in this song - don't give up.
'took everything somebody had'
i believed it all,n thort he really ment it
'feed the fool a piece of the pie' 'give him bottles of lies'
n i guess it all changed n i hated it, every1 hates bad change.

Well somebody's something was left in the room
And man now that its gone well of course we assume
That somebody else needed something so bad
That they took everything that somebody had
the something that was left was somebody's wish/dream and somebody else took that away from them and that wish/dream was all that somebody had. but maybe somebody else had problems or low self esteem (maybe?) and to make themselves feel better they had to take somebody's wish/dream away.
