Fin ( Ending ) *Sorry everyone that I took commenting off for a while.. even though all my past info of the song was straight from interviews from Stephen Christian himself, it still bothered me that people would argue and disagree. So I took some time to find the original interviews, and revise what I wrote below; using more direct quotes from Stephen himself. *Every word and/or paragraph that is in “quotes” below, are straight from the interviews, word for word.
