Maybe this is a little macabre, but whenever I hear "Boy Bruised by Butterfly Chase" it reminds me of 9/11, specifically of these poor people who had to jump.
It first started with a documentary a saw on 9/11 of few years ago, the one where the two french brothers are with that NY fire department. Everyone on the tape was saying that on the day, it was a beautiful morning and the "sky was so blue".
The next time I heard the song, I listened to the lyrics in the context of 9/11 and it just brought a whole new meaning to the song.
"Must of tripped, I don't know. Don't remember falling away. Nothing that I hold onto, and not being afraid. Down down down, I'm falling, down down down. Its like I was born never touching the ground"
The person finally unable to hold on anymore because of the heat, letting go and losing all fear.
"Everyone was standing around me, laying in the dirt. I could hear their hearts breaking, but I wasn't even hurt."
The person, looking down at firefighters standing around the body, saying a prayer.
