MASTER-FUC*ING-PIECE!!!

[Goottimaagi]

"The Day I learn to fly, I'm never coming down"

That's like his friend saying that once he can be happy and free from the struggles and sadness of the world and his world, he's never going back (the first hint of his being suicidal)

"AND FROM HERE I see the neon grids of cities"

"AND THE SIX million people that keep there fires lit"

Once he's away from the real world, the world of societ and other people, he watches how they live.

[Goottimaagi]

"And I threw a party in my name"

He called his friends, people he knew to hang out with him, for himself (maybe he was selfish and didn't know it)

"but the hours crawled by and no one came"

No one came to be with him. Probably because of his personality flaws, that he couldn't fix.

[Goottimaagi]

"so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings"

"to take me from this place... from you"

He was depress from them not showing up. He wished to leave the earth, and everyone in it (yet another sign of suicide)

"I see myself inside you. You dream the dreams that I do.

This is Tim saying he sees his suicidal friend going through the same things he did. He too doesn't wish to be a part of society (the leader singer is a vegetarian/vegan, other songs suggest he doesn't agree with the way society lives)

[Goottimaagi]

"You're still searching for these answers, NOT INSIDE YOUR WRISTS"

Tim saying his suicidal friend does not know how to deal with his problems. He agrees with not being a part of society but cutting his wrists is not the answer to his problems.

"And I close my eyes as the curtain draws"

He doesn't know what to think of the situation so he closes his eyes. His friend is dead. "The curtain draws" his friend's show(life, and story) is now over.

[Goottimaagi]

"I thought I heard your voice, but I thought wrong"

He still finds it hard to believe his friend is dead. As if he's still alive, and he could just imagine hearing him speak again.

"'Cause you're not there anymore... No you're not there anymore.

His friend is not alive. There might be deeper meaning to it, but that's all I can really think of.

[Goottimaagi]

"AND SO I lift my chin, as the show goes on"

He snaps back to reality, stops mourning, and his life goes on without his friend.

"The sky is listening the stars all sing along."

"But you're not there anymore."

Everyone is enjoying things together, but either way, his friend is dead. He can never be a part of "the stars singing along."

[Goottimaagi]

"And I just can't care anymore"

He isn't going to let it hold him back. His friend is dead, he has mourned, now he will go back to his own life.

[TWOCentHo]

dude, wth is this song even about?

[WillCreary]

tim mcilrath's, the singer, friend committed suicide and so tim wrote this song. if you look at the lyrics you can see how it's relevant.

[ienjoyhoagies]

This was off one of the best albums of the 21st century. Way better than their more "commercial" stuff.
