(4,235 posts)8. I like the song more now than when I was in highschool
For that reason. To be able to heal and not go dark is inspiring.

Badly and his girlfriend raped by a gang that became known for attacking tourists. His face was pretty broken. When he got back to New York the doctors rebroke and reset his several face bones. So he wrote this song to replace that night in his mind to one of celebration and joy.
