Jumper
BEDlight for BlueEYES (feat. Sebastian Davin of Dropping Daylight) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
The angry boy a bit too insane
I sing over a secret pain
You know you don't belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
'Cause everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties from all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
Well he's on the table and he's goin' to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they're doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties from all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
Can you put the past away
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
You could cut ties from all the lies you've been livin' in
(I will understand)
If you do not wanna see me again
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(And I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
(I will understand)
The song "Jumper" by BEDlight for BlueEYES (feat. Sebastian Davin of Dropping Daylight) is a powerful plea for a friend to step back from suicide. The lyrics express the singer's concern for their friend who is standing on the edge of a ledge and contemplating ending their life. The song opens with a direct request for the friend to step back from the ledge and cut ties with the lies they've been living in. The singer urges their friend to reconsider this drastic action and to put the past away for the sake of their present and future. The song also acknowledges the fact that the friend is in pain and suggests that perhaps they feel like they don't belong. The chorus repeats the plea for the friend to step back from the ledge, and the singer promises to understand if their friend chooses not to see them again.
In the second verse, the situation escalates as the friend's condition worsens. The singer describes the friend as an "angry boy a bit too insane" who is "on the table and he's goin' to code." The friend's friends have left and the singer never thought it would come to this. Again, the chorus repeats the plea for the friend to step back from the ledge, but this time there is an added urgency. The song ends with a final plea for the friend to put the past away and step back from the ledge.
Overall, "Jumper" is a powerful song that addresses the issue of suicide in a poignant and compassionate way. The lyrics express a deep concern for the friend and a desire to help them in any way possible. The song serves as a reminder that everyone has demons to face, but there is always a way to put the past away and move forward.

My brother died a couple weeks ago now and we both loved this version of this song.
I put it on a CD and this played at his funeral, it's hard to hear this anymore and not cry, he was a beautiful person with so many demons that ultimately took his life.
I miss him more than anything.

A Darker Breed Well, you made me cry. I feel your pain man, I really do. I lost my frend John back in February, and him and I were closer than brothers. Whenever I hear Friends And Alibis by Escape The Fate, he's the only thing that I can think of. Because we used to listen to that song all day every day, and when we were both in jail, we used eachother as alibis a lot. I loved him so much and I never got to tell him how much I loved him.
(btw this isn't my account, it's my brothers, I'm using his computer because mine fucking broke :/ )
I just wanted you to know you're never alone. As alone as you think you are, just remember, there's at least one guy up here in the great frozen wastes of Ontario, Canada (lol) who knows what you're going through

I saw Third Eye Blind in concert, recently. They were amazing. But this guy can definitely sing. Bother versions are brilliant.

This song is good both the cover and the original. Also for all those people saying this isn't "Punk", it is Punk the band BEDlight For BlueEYES decided to do a more softer version than the original. I absolutely love it this shows that this band had a softer side to them when they were still together but they broke up. If you guys check out their original songs by this band then you would know they are Punk. Also the song also features Sebastian Devin of the band Dropping Daylight. He's the guy playing the piano in the background. Anyways this band really went far but was a shame they decided to break up.
