About a close friend who boasted his own depression and suicidal tendencies in a desperate attempt to gain attention. The song is about realizing that no matter how shitty things can get, don't ever give up on yourself. "...the ice is only temporary."
A need for attention. A cry for help. Take another worthless pill. Try to make everything seem okay. Intending to fall. Find the thin ice.
Walk to the center, shed a tear. The world has betrayed you have no place left to go, and now you want to take the plunge. Hear the cracks. Stand alone. Break into the cold water where no one can reach a hand longing for touch. There's noone left to turn to and inside it burns like hell. Take a breath. Watch it rise. Lower your head. Shudder upon every heartbeat. Intending to fall. Find the thin ice.

If you don't realize that the ice is only temporary...
