Symbolism

Time and time again, I've watched as women, whether my dear friends, or mere acquaintances, enter into a new relationship with giddy, overflowing hearts that ooze passion at the seams.
And time and time again, I've watched these relationships end in earth-shattering heartbreak for these women. So I wrote a song about why.
It uses a lot of symbolism to convey that a young, innocent girl placing all of her trust in a teenage boy, is like her standing at a precipice, taking off her parachute (the only hope of surviving the great fall), setting it in that boy's hands, and jumping off the cliff. It's suicide. Now this isn't to say that all relationships are detrimental, that I don't believe in love, that many men are not Godly and honorable... but it is to say that a lot of girls just want to be loved by a boy, so they give everything they have, only to be ignorantly used and thrown away by a sex-crazed teenager who either doesn't understand or care about the girl's feelings, or know any better.
It happens everyday...

She never expected him to be more than that innocent, wide-eyed boy.
He never thought he could make anyone feel such profound joy.
But when her emotions take the wheel, he reaches for his map.
And he takes advantage of her love, pushes the pedal, it's way too fast.

What could I say when she's caught up in the Whirlwind?
And no words of wisdom would stop her from jumping off that cliff...?
I thought that she would be smarter than to leave her parachute in his hands at the top of her world.
The top of the world.

So she takes a leap of faith headfirst, flying into the air.
And he can't believe his eyes, dumbfounded he just stares.
So when she lands, limbs mangled and heart crushed, she'll look up at him.
And a few tears will come to her eyes when she finds there's no one there...
at the top of her world.

When he says, "just place your trust in me,"
Don't put your life in those hands.
Don't make him something he's not supposed to be,
Don't make him the center of all your plans.
