I believe the meaning of this song is very literal. I lost my son who was only 14 last February to a freak car accident. This is the first song about death I have heard that really touched me. I literally cried for an hour after hearing it for the first time. I love the line about the rainbow shining down on their mother. I spent 30 days in the hospital watching my son die and I had hours and hours to think about how short life is and the things we stress over on a daily basis dont' matter much in the end.
I'm really sad at how many young women believe this song is about suicide, which leads me to believe that they are contemplating it. Please don't, it's a selfish act and things will get better. Appreciate what you have now and enjoy your life everyday.
@Indie_Queen I get that you're trying to deter people, but calling it selfish isn't going to do that. People who complete or attempt suicide are rarely thinking of themselves for it to be a selfish act. If you've never been in that position where your own mind tells you everyone would be better off without you and the only way to escape is to end it you can't understand. Please, don't shame those who've succumbed to the disease of depression.
