Indeed “the world” itself “has grown cold” in her absence. In fact, since she’s left, to him “it feels like heaven is so far away”. What such a metaphor likely means is that he resultantly has a decreased sense of hope. And in once again referring to the second verse, he “still care(s)” for her even though she’s departed.
Some of the sentiments expressed include the vocalist fantasizing about meeting the addressee “in another life”. He also feels that the fact she was ‘pulled away before her time’ is “so unfair”. And as the story goes back in the ‘90s when this tune was conceived, Dexter Holland’s girlfriend unfortunately died in a car accident. So she is the person whom he is addressing.Īnd as to be expected under such circumstances, this is a song of lament.
