What do you think this song means?

When I was young I knew everything


She a punk who rarely ever took advice


Now I'm guilt stricken,


Sobbing with my head on the floor


Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice





I can't be held responsible


She was touching her face


I won't be held responsible


She fell in love in the first place





For the life of me I cannot remember


What made us think that we were wise and


We'd never compromise


For the life of me I cannot believe


We'd ever die for these sins


We were merely freshmen





My best friend took a week's


Vacation to forget her


His girl took a weeks's worth of


Valium and slept


And now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his


Head on the floor


Thinks about her now and how he never really


Wept he says





I can't be held responsible


She was touching her face


I won't be held responsible


She fell in love in the first place

sounds like abortion %26amp; suicide...sad song.
Reply:Basically, it's a couple of guys who did something awful to a girl back when they were freshmen, maybe rape, maybe murder, maybe both. Now they feel guilty though they didn't get caught. They don't talk about that page in their history. They deny they were responsible though they really were. They try to justify it by saying that they didn't know better, they were freshmen. Even though they may never be prosecuted, their guilt is tearing them apart.
Reply:sounds like they were too young and went too far...got pregnant and either had an abortion or killed herself
Reply:drug addicts who threw their lives away?
Reply:The Verve Pipe's lead singer, Brian Vander Ark, wrote this about his ex-girlfriend getting an abortion. In the second verse, his girlfriend overdoses on Valium to commit suicide, but this part never happened and was made up by Vander Ark.
Reply:Girl in love, boy who won't be responsible for "whatever"....typical?
Reply:Idk mabe someone who is heartbroken for a mistake that he or she made?
Reply:It sounds to me like it's about an abortion.
Reply:I lost the plot after the bit about the rice in the shoe. I hope the music is good.
