in the next scene there is a woman walking away with suitcases, presumably his wife. He returns home from war and we see he and his wife having a BBQ with some friends, he seems zoned out. There is more painting in the room, but this time it is dark thick marks made with a paintbrush, he is no longer painting anything specific, just dark marks. While there, we see him shoot a man dead with his rifle, and he instantly has a terrified look as if to say "What have I done?". He in shipped off to combat, he receives letters from his wife as one would expect.

Next we find the boy, now a man, walking away from him home in cammies. When in shows him in the painting room he is distraught, sad and angry with his painting. the next scene he is in an argument with his wife, lightly shoving her. For the first time now, we see him drinking. He has a girlfriend now and they get married. He sits on a rock and holds the coin in his handĪs he grows older, we find him in his late or early twenties. He gets a little bit older and the abuse continues, he now is drawing dark lines and using spray paint in the white room where the innocent child drew pictures. Then we see his father begin drinking and yelling at him and he runs away, only to find his mother yelling at him. He celebrates his birthday, plays with toys, he seems like a perfectly normal and happy child. He has a half dollar coin, likely minted the year of his birth, this is a symbol. The video opens up with a baby being admired by his parents and drawing in a completely white room. My InterpretationAfter having watched the video for this sing, the meaning seems very clear to me. If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain Please forgive me, I can't forgive you now I'll burn it all to the ground before I let you run I only did what I thought was truly right Please forgive me, I can't forgive you now.'Cause in your eyes, I just never added upįor never standing by you or being by your side I'll burn it all to the ground, before I let you in. You say I'll never change but what the fuck do you know?

It's a long and lonely road, when you know you walk alone I only did, what I thought was truly right If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets?įor never standing by you, or being by your side If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain?

In my heart I know I failed you, but you left me here alone Life is a rollercoaster, filled with more dips than one can think possible, but it's all about weathering the drops, and cherishing the rises.Ĭause in your eyes, I just never added up No matter how shit things get, there will always be an upside and things will get better. She makes me feel loved and cared about more than I have ever felt by my own flesh and blood. They disapprove of her and I marrying in just a short week from today, but I couldn't care less. I've only spoken to my parents twice since the boot, and both times have driven across the point that I'm just not good enough even though I'm going to serve my country and start a career that'll take care of my now fiance and I. After a scare of which I thought I'd be sent to the streets, I've decided that the military was the fix and have since enlisted into the Army. I tried to find a job over these last few months, and went to a few interviews but only to no avail. The last time I saw my parents was on July 30th, where both of them screamed at me from the moment I came inside the door to grab my last few valuable belongings of mine to the moment I had left, telling me that my girlfriend and I are pieces of shit, and my sister just being a bitch towards the two of us just because. Thankfully, my girlfriend and her mother were gracious enough to take me in albeit temporarily. After numerous fights with my parents after so many miniscule issues, I was finally kicked out of my own home by my parents who I had believed loved me back in July this year.
