Songfacts®:

  • This song was written for an unnamed pal of the band who committed suicide. Bassist Mike Drint explained to UK newspaper The Sun: "It was a friend of ours who took an early exit. He was a very close friend and he just never grew up. He just lived with his glory days behind him and didn't realize that his glory days were now in front of him. We love him dearly but life happened."
