Current Events > The song Apologize by One Republic is about suicide

(+) Yeah! (+)

The chorus "It's too late to apologize". Meaning they can't apologize because the person they're apologizing to is already dead. Very sad.

Interesting, never knew that....

I remember it was used in the trailer for the film "Atonement" that came out around the same time, and fit perfectly as the move was about an author writing a happy ending for a couple that she knew in real life.. and been responsible for their deaths

I doubt that

well the first verse is this:

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound

He hung himself

1st verse continued is:

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say

The person apologizing cuts them down but the last line can be kinda confusing because it implies the suicidal person was able to respond but I interpret it as a ghostly or response from the dead. That's why the apologizer is shocked.

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks

That song is actually kinda creepy.
