suicide sounds right. I think there's something about abortion in there. Abortion is wrong, and ends lives before the children get a chance to grow and eat and run and play and have joy.

When I first heard the song, it seemed to me to be about suicide. It still seems that way to me, even though every one claims that Chris Daughtry intended it to be about abduction.

I think it has to do with understanding how that predetors are still out there even though you might feel safe there is always something wrong. It is a very emotional song and it makes you think of how we all could be targets.

It didn't keep my answer when I registered ;-;
Anyway, according to a quote from www.alltheselives.org from Chris Daughtry about the song:

"This song I wrote with Mitch [Allan]. We didn't want to write about the same old thing. He brought up the theme of child abduction and it became a really deep and emotional song. A song shedding light on the people out there that do that sort of thing. As a parent, this hit close to home because no parent would want to go through that."

That seems to be the official interpretation. I also like the interpretation of a child being "kidnapped" by drugs and such. However you look at the meaning I think it's a very poignant song.

How about all the people on AI who really think they're going to make it to the next round and then cry like their mother just died when they don't.

Peoples dreams are so mislead these days.
