Song Analysis #2 - A Message for Adrienne by Underoath

I tried so hard to be her day
But the night has already taken me away
Shedding dreams under the maple tree
Where I carved your name
Nothing left, not even time
Straight reads the line
His life had reached the end
Wanting only to be loved by Adrienne
Letters explained his grief
But she would never read
His wrists would bleed
But she would never see
So he took his life at the age of 23
And she had always loved him
But he would never know
For she covered her love
Like stars cover the sky
Hiding her heart
Fearing what he would find inside
Years took her away
A widow she remained
Holding him deep inside
Wishing she too would die
Time favors no one and if we wait
We too can fall in love
A second too late


This is one of my favorite songs by Underoath. The lyrics are so sad!
This song talks about the theme that you dont know what you have until you lose it. Basically, this guy really likes this girl, and he tells her, but she ignores him. He wanted to be with her so badly that when she rejected him, he took his life. "Letters explained his grief/but she would never read." He told her that he was upset and explained how much he wanted her, but she ignored him, and never bothered to read his letters. He killed himself, and then she finally realized that she really loved him, but he wouldnt ever know. She hid it from everyone because she didn't want anyone to know her feelings. Years past, she remained unmarried, and still thought about him. My favorite line is the very end "Time favors no one and if we wait/we too can fall in love/a second too late." If you hide how you feel for so long, no one, not even yourself, will know how you really feel until its too late. The music that goes along with this song, is in no way sad like the lyrics. In fact, it's one of the more heavier songs off of Underoath's Changing of Times cd. So in a way, it makes the song sound more like their mad because this may have happened to someone they know and/or love.
