who do we think it is adressed to?

upon first listen a lot of the phrases seem to point to God but I highly doubt it, I'm almost certain it is a very close friend of Stapp. Does he have a mentor of sorts who he can learn from and confide in? who do you think Stapp is singing to?

I agree - maybe the song is adressed to a close friend of his. But somehow it seems like he is talking about something/somebody from the past. Like "All those memories we share" - kinda makes me think of an old friend to whom I haven't spoken for a long time. And he uses the past tense, which might mean that the connection to the something/somebody has been dropped. "So now you live on in the words of a song" - maybe even a lost or dead friend?

I don't know... Just guessing!

I know several times last year, Scott said it was meant for the fans that stood by them.

hotforscott · 09-14-2003, 10:25 AM

Exactly, that is what he said at the show I went to in September. That is was written for the fans. Makes sense to me.

The song can be meant for so many people, in so many different context's...which is why I absolutely love their music! No matter what mood I'm in or what is going on in my life, I can listen to them and it will help guide me through it all! I give them soooo many thanks for doing what they do, and for them bring their lyrics to us! It's unbelievable!

He says it different each time, at the Olmypics he said it was for a someone who helped you or changed something in your life or whatever.

Really its one of those songs that you can take and give it your own meaning.

Most of their songs can be interpreted in so many ways, that's what makes us all think.

hide · 09-14-2003, 10:23 PM

i listened to the interveiw the local pastors done a few years ago with Stapp and he mentions his Youth Pastor as a guy who he said was real and you could tell he had really gone through some stuff. I'm thinking perhaps as well as the fans this song is addressed to him because he showed him right and wrong that SHWM talks about.

its the sign of a great lyrist when their lyrics can be applied to so many different situations and interpreted so differently but they are still quite clear if that makes any sense.
