Pretty self explanatory, the on looker (let's call him Dan) who's the main story teller for this song, is witnessing an act of abuse. The singer is question if it was right to interfere with the unfolding episode. The general theme of the song is shame for the lack of resistance of an abusive act that is being committed.

Charnette from Brooklyn, NyThis isn't offical, and sorta differs from the suggested idea of above, but this is what I got:.

This is one of my favorite songs by Chevelle and this is a great album.

Robert from Mountain Lakes, NjActually, it is not 'Trees, may the press find', it's 'cheat, may the past find'.

Though she knows that I love her and that I will do anything for her. I like this song so much, it hit home because my adopted sister has to deal with the fact that her mother doesn't want her and my mother isn't that much better. Let him find us, let him know that you don't need him.

I've kept your secrets for all these years, need I remind you? I will take care of the child like it were my own. Out, separating.' Come with me and I will show you something that you've been missing. Hauntingly looks like hell.' Don't you remember how you got in this situation in the first place? He hasn't changed. But it won't change an empty stare.' Why do you try to get close to him while moving farther from me. 'There's close enough, and there's too far. 'To care or plead silence', might mean, 'Are you going to fight for it, or just sit there and take it?' 'Weak hands are calling.' I'm here for you, even though you might not really see me. 'So he'll loan the cash, but the sin lies in the hands of you.' just because he might willing to pay child support doesn't mean that he's father of the year. The bastard can't keep refusing rights' I thought had something to do with the fact that the father or whatever can't keep denying this little package of joy. These are my interpritations of this song. Andrea from Upper Lake, CaThe idea that I got from this song was someone havig a child and the father or whatever not wanting anything to do with it.I think this would be a powerfull music video. She puts the cash back in her pocket and walks out without going through with it. then it goes back to her in the lobby of the abortion clinic.to care or plead silence.to care or.to care or.she realizes it was a dream. on the operating table It's very foriegn, she feels shamefull, she is cheating herself and her child, will someone find out, separating, now she and her child are officialy separated.as the girl lies crying on the operating table please end this catastrophic scene. Cheat, may the past find out, separating.' Now at this point she is actually going through with it. 'weak hands are calling' (the baby is pleading for it's life)'there's close enough, and there's to far but it won't change an empty stare' (was going all the way with this boy worth it? now there is a childs empty stare, haunting and looking like hell. 'to care(keep the child)or plead silence (Abort it, and pretend it never happened) 'So, he'll loan the cash'(for an abortion)'but the sin is on the hands of you' She is the one who actually has to go through with it.

'gave in again, the bastard.' meant she gave in and had sex even though she thought she shouldn't.'Can't keep refusing right' Again, she feels it's wrong, doesn't want to keep doing this. remenising about what she has done, and is about to do. Dan from Colo Springs, CoWow, I thought it actually was about a young girl who just found out she was pregnant, and the boyfriend wants her to get an abortion.In my mind the 'music video' would start out with her sitting by herself in the lobby or waiting room of an abortion clinic.i thought this song might have been about some poor kid trying to jack someones money cause he needs to help his family or something. When you can take it and make it personal, you will. That’s one thing about music I have a love/hate relationship with. I love the song but my emotional reaction to it tears me to absolute pieces. The whole mess came to light and truth almost two decades later. We borrowed the money from her dad, whom she had also lied to. She lied to me about a medical condition to convince me to let her get a late term abortion. My ex and I were about to have a baby, this was over twenty years ago. Thatoneguy from OklahomaMy interpretation comes from a pretty messed up place.
