Story Behind The Song
It's a story about helping loved ones deal with the death of a parent. My own title for this song was Anthem, which is a tune my first band, The Dark, wrote. Its title prior to that was just Ant, because we saw an ant crawling across the floor of our rehearsal space when we decided to name it. You want creativity, you got it! We changed it to Anthem because the original version had lots of electric guitars which gave it a huge sound. Like an anthem, eh?

Lyrics
You don't understand her
And that will make you cry
Read through all the letters
Listen to her songs
Look through every picture in that pile
But they mean nothing to you
Like words in a rhyme
And now your only savior
Is the slow passing of time
He won't understand you
And that will make you cry
Sit around the table, come up with the words
No more straining to be heard
Tell yourself a story, none of it is real
Find yourself someone who makes you feel
Teach me how to be sad
Tell me when can I get mad
Then just make it go away
Just make it go away
