This song is about why time travel should not be possible. And no, it was in no way influenced by The Butterfly Effect. None of us had even seen the movie until after the song was written.

Verse 1
I know a man, he's got nothing left to lose
Now I know he was left behind some forty odd years ago
What a mysterious man I see, black shadows follow each step
He's got nothing to prove, yeah

Verse 2
Now he's empty inside, black void where his heart should be
It's be like this for quite some time, his loneliness will never die
If he could re-write his life, he'd undo his mistakes
Now he's got something to prove, yeah

Verse 3
He's knows it's wrong, but he just can't help
Feeling bad for himself
Has it be that long since he's felt
Something for anyone else
Time flies by you/Pick up what you need/The future can decide itself
Time won't please him/You're left with no/No one to change what has been
People have no right/To change where they've been/Or what they have changed
When they try/He will fail/Left alone in its place
