I hate that Jimmy ever did such a thing as commit suicide, but I still revere him as an artist and just an all-around character. There are many more references to this event throughout the whole album. Here, he's wondering why Jimmy had to do it. In "Save Me" (which is the track after Fiction) the first words you hear are "they all know." I guess no one has made the connection that this line might mean "everybody knows you killed yourself." What else could it mean?Īlso in "Save Me": "So much to see tonight/so why'd you close your eyes?/Why can't I shut mine?" Matt knows Jimmy "closed his eyes" with his own will to close them. Last request=the final verses of Fiction.ħ. In "So Far Away" which is about The Rev, Brian wrote, "A final song, a last request/A perfect chapter laid to rest." Final song=Fiction (which was titled "Death" by Jimmy and submitted by Jimmy to the band three days before his death). was that he had faith that they would be able to move on without him.Ħ. Otherwise, why would he write this? His message to everyone who was a fan, friend, loved one, family member, etc. He knew he was no longer going to be with us. His music, and anything else he gave us, was what he wanted to be remembered for. He hoped that what he had done in his life was worth dying for. His pain is finally gone, as Syn wrote in "So Far Away" (which also suggests that the band members know he committed suicide), and he wants us not to worry.ĪGAIN, straight-forward. He was trapped inside his life but now he has been set free. He's reassuring us that this is what he wanted. This, again, is pretty much straight-forward. He "let it burn" under his skin, inside of his body, until it ruined his organs. He's pretty much telling us flat out here that he committed suicide while sarcastically saying "no, I could never and would never." He died due to a combination of oxycodone (Ox圜ontin), oxymorphone (a metabolite of oxycodone), diazepam (Valium), nordiazepam (a metabolization of diazepam) and alcohol, and if that combination doesn't kill someone, I don't know what will. The "peace just on the other side" was most likely a reference to life after death. He was satisfied what he had done and felt that he had nothing left to give, therefore he was ready to rest his head for good. He told Matt that it was going to change the world. He put everything he had into this last album. "It" in this case refers to the band, maybe the final album. He realizes that life has become too much for him to handle. Jimmy was my favorite musician ever and he was such an influence to me, and as much as I don't want to admit it, I'm 99% sure he committed suicide. General CommentI think a lot of people don't want to face what this actually could be. I know it's lengthy, and even if its not a literal suicide note, this is just what I am personally gathering from the song. and that everyone is going to be okay, and they'll continue their lives without him, they'll find their own ways because they're strong. and he's not going to be in pain anymore, and no one should be afraid, no one should be upset, he's finally at peace.Īnd then the ending- he hopes that everything is worth it, his life, his music, everything that he has done, he hopes that none of it was done in vain.

next verse- "left this life to set me free." again- self explanatory, he killed himself to free himself of the pain and he took a piece of everyone with him. yeah, bring it on, I can handle this pain, I'm strong enough to get through this.Īnyways. or maybe in a completely different sense- let it burn like.

Let it burn- he wants all of the guilt, and hate, and pain to burn under his skin so he can finally do it. not that he ever could kill himself in the past, or that he ever would. Not that I could or that I would- kind of like. and now that he's dead, he had found peace, reassuring us that he is at peace now, and he is happy.Īs for the chorus, this is what I'm getting.

He gave us everything he had, his friends, family, his brothers in the band, his fans. "gave you all I had to give, found a place for me to rest my head." well, pretty self explanatory. He's saying that this life is too much for him to handle. "now I think I understand how this world can overcome a man" - probably one of the most heartbreaking and emotional lines I've ever heard. I'm not sure if I think that he killed himself or not, but just based on the song, this is what im gathering. at least thats what it sounds like to me. I can't help but think that this song is a suicide note. the rev was my absolute favorite, he wrote the best songs and was one hell of a talented musician.Īnyways. the first time I heard this song, I still can't listen to it without getting emotional. General Commentthis is the most beautiful masterpiece I have ever heard. Heard there's peace just on the other side
