Ah this song always makes me tear up a bit. Today it made me cry. It reminds me a lot of my grandfather. He was very dear to me, and he always gave such amazing advice. I remember I always used to say that one day i would write a book full of all the advice he gave me. but I never wrote it, like the song. He died before I could get anything down. He died to Liver Cancer about for years ago since my time of writing this. I was really messed up from it, and honestly I still am. I would give anything to talk to him again. I never even got the chance to say goodbye. I gave up my last chance because my parents convinced me that I shouldn't go and see him in the state he was. I never got to say goodbye. I love you grandpa, and how i wish I could tell you one last time. I feel like the singer is in a very similar situation to mine. The song seems to be a bout the death of a mentor or a loved one who meant a lot to you. Only t lose them without getting to say goodbye. Or just wanting them back. But the singer at the end promises to push on the legacy of the dead. I think I'll do that too.

to me this song is about how being in the spot light can corrupt a person. But, there might be a different meaning. It might also be a song about someone dealing with a liar. Someone who lies and abuses, putting on a constant show. Perhaps like an abusive parent? .Or just an overall toxic person and breaking free while asking them to quit the act.
