LYRICS
'Cause I'd like to save you
Make me talk to you
'Cause I'd like to save you
The days of bitter are coming to an end
So come with me, if you want to leave
You can find time where they're not for sale
I need to same too
There's nowhere left to go, so I'd like to save you
My hand's been bloody since the day I came
It's such a shame, you've seen my violent side
Don't make me go the wrong way
'Cause I'd like to save you

The dancing dudes that personified his impending death was so haunting. Could you imagine getting chased by poplocking ghouls on the day you die?
+Kano IX lol the way you worded it was hilarious but throughout the video I was thinking about how terrified I would be.
+Kano IX That would be the best battle ever for me XD what a way to go lol
+Kano IX They're supposed to be the ghosts of J Dilla and Micheal Jackson. You can tell from how they're dressed, but the dancers don't really look like them otherwise.
Kano IX that would be dope, id throw the lotion at their ashy asses
die with style

As a man of 44 years, this songs makes me cry buried emotions. Just like the rain cleanses the earth, crying cleanses the soul.
That's right

beautifully stated
It will be ok, this emotion will pass , a man is meant to conquer his emotions
Okay guys there's some bizarre interpretations here of this video. First of all, the entire album is about death, and accepting loss is a theme throughout Fly Lo's music. Fly Lo has said in interviews he considers himself an authority on death as he has lost so many people throughout his life, so he releases this album. Yes, the son has no arm, and I don't think WHY he has no arm is actually relevant at all. Missing limbs is a thing in other videos as well. The missing arm is called upon later in the video, which I'll get to later.
So this man is dying, and he looks at his son who is obviously not ready to let him go. The entire family is seeing him off, washing him, preparing him for death, and the son is staring. He is not ready. As his father is dying, his spirit or his consciousness or whatever you want to consider it is running away from death. Death is represented largely by those mysterious men, covered in white powder, which by the way is an amazing visual as usually in white media death is depicted as black, men dressed in black, a black spirit, etc. So this takes the white interpretation of death and tosses it on its ass, making the white color the symbol of death and dying.
He runs and gets on a bus, sees a form of his son, that isn't quite his son. He's darker, expressionless and empty. His son is still alive, but they are together battling accepting death. They leave together, neither willing to accept what has to come. Eventually, his son is forced to accept what's coming, and shoots his father. The shooting is representative of him letting go, of the acceptance of death, and the father gets on his knees to accept the inevitable and accept the shot. Birds fly into the sky, his spirit/consciousness floats off into oblivion or wherever the hell we go when we die.
Now, the missing arm that exists robotically in limbo. As I mentioned, missing limbs has been used throughout Fly Lo's music videos as representative of loss and longing. Here in limbo, while they battle the inevitable, the arm is there. It is that very arm that pulls the trigger that is the acceptance of his father's death. It's intended to add a metaphorical layer to the story. The arm missing arm, representative of loss and longing, regenerates mechanically and performs the act that is representative of acceptance. There is no loss of the arm because of his father as is said in another comment, none of that is implied in the video, nor is it relevant. The arm itself, there and not there, exists and doesn't exist simply to lend a hand to the metaphor of loss and acceptance.
thats fuckin dope man, thanks
so fly lo's quite the musical grim reaper…
unbearableblue great interpretation. Also keep in mind that in many African cultures white is in fact representative of death and the spirit world. In many African cultures for example, for one's funeral attendees/mourners will don white clothing head to toe. Also in some others such as Ghana, wearing white powder head to toe is reserved specifically for communicating with the spirit world.
Your understanding of the missing arm and it's mechanical appearance at the end to officially let the father go was interesting. I would add that perhaps it represents a mechanical response...a programmed response to the death of a loved one, such as would be expected by the society in which we live : "let them go and live on" no matter how difficult.
Peace
Thank you Jay I really appreciate the 101 on death and spirits in different African cultures - I figured my interpretation might be missing some things due to gaps in social/cultural understanding.
So how do you interpret the scene with the tents? I assumed it was supposed to be a homeless camp, and that's where spirits who did pass onto wherever resided
Legend has it that Flying Lotus is unable to make a bad album
Kali Beats legend? They're never usually so accurate
As a musician I seriously, honestly, genuinely wonder if he is even human...
this is no legend this is fact
The world will end to this ablum's songs
Kali Beats or even a mediocre or average album for that matter
This album was released the day after my grandfather's funeral. Also, the day this album was released was the day of my move across the country. This album was the soundtrack to that move. I played it nonstop for four straight days.
It has a very special meaning for me. And you know what? It still has yet to get old.
+Adam Nowak I love you, This song makes me sad
The video for Never catch me was released around the same time my brother passed, I know how you feel.
Correlation from an album to a greater circumstance in life is the entire reason I love music. It's like you and the artist bonded in that instance, his music and your troubles.
whosniffedme
And having four days of solitude to reflect on that circumstance while exploring new horizons was an incredibly unique experience.
And somewhat surreal.
I feel your pain bro I lost my dad 3 years ago and we both loved the gorillaz so i dedicated dont get lost in heaven to him. hope you feel better
The corona virus got my Mama last month. I just rediscovered this song yesterday and man, i was tearing up listening to this.
I am about to cry again listening to it right now. The instrumental, the lyrics, the vocals and the title especially get me emotional.

Sorry for your loss. Damn

Jungian Synchronicity.
I feel like the father is dying of a hard disease but seeing that his son has lost an arm, he is thinking that if I die, the son will have to look after the family. So that's why he is struggling with death.
But the whole journey he is running from death, his son takes him to a place where he can leave and be at peace. The act of shooting him and petals flowing says that the son is telling his dad to trust him and be at peace, 'I give you the freedom to go to the after-life, you just have to trust me'. The bionic arm signifies that the son although missing one arm, is as strong as with two arms so his father just has to trust him.
Really deep thing here.
Peace
I like your interpretation of this
This song reminds me of losing my mom I have always felt the way you interpreted it here you put it into words.
I just think its a younger version of himself showing him the way home.
@RudeFeline If it was his younger self, wouldn't he be missing an arm too? So, I don't really think that's a sound interpretation.
I don't think the missing arm is literal. More of a metaphor for a missing piece of oneself.
My father passed away 2 days ago. He was 80. And this song very much reminds me of him.
Love you, dad. Enjoy heaven.
Phenomenal song. Phenomenal video.
Like any of you would know good music.

John Smith
I am an asshole, but i'm also honest mate.
This dying man is obviously with his family in the final minutes of his life. The ghouls covered in white dust must be his interpretation of his fear of death & letting go of the material world. He keeps running but cannot escape his impending death. He ends up following his son that leads him through a tunnel that leads him to the other side. He is looking at the rising sun giving him warmth & the courage & peace to leave this world. Most likely the sun is his representation of his own son because thats the last person he looks at before letting go. Very very spiritual video, whoever worked out the images in this video really knew what they were doing
This makes sense
Idk what everyone else in the comments keep talking about though
This makes a lot more sense now

this felt more like a complete song, the album version was so short, it just leaves you wanting for more desperately, such dope visuals too!
***** the songs are short because there's so much going on in the sound, a lot of them are busy & you need to digest it more than a regular song. It also represents the perspective of jumping from bardo to bardo in the afterlife.
I feel that he makes his songs strictly for video now a days or at least with a visual in mind. Thats why they feel incomplete on the album
***** his records are meant to be listened front to back. it's quite difficult for me to listen to one song individually from You're Dead, with exeption of a few tracks. even if i do try to listen to select tracks from that album, i'll just want to listen to the whole thing lol
genius guy
Deinrene Amazan
they don't feel incomplete, it's just a wholistic album. every song builds on to the last one
True that!
They're spitting in our faces at this point.
Those who know, know.
Man's traditions and deceitfulness will not save you, open your eyes and see. Yahshua says; Those who have ears, let them hear! And those who have eyes, let them see!
Yahweh is your only means of Salvation.
Book of Yahweh is the closest Book you will get to the closest translation of the original scriptures. Yahweh never refers to himself as god to his people, he is our Heavenly Father. "I AM THAT I AM" Yahweh's wisdom CAN be within us all, follow his laws and commandents and plead for him. You are being deceived by the Roman Catholic Church, KJV is altered and not accurate. Catholic means "Universal", meaning they worship all gods, the hosts of heaven, not our Creator as they should. Vatican means "Divining Serpent". Christianity is a sham, as all 4,199 religions are. Yahweh is the Mighty One, our Heavenly Father and Only One in Heaven above that should be reverenced, BY HIS NAME, NOT "GOD". Yahweh is not a god. In all of the original Scriptures, the Heavenly Father and Creator Yahweh was never known as a god or lord. Think of who you are reverencing. Repent and realize this, this is information. Your choice to research and validate and come to a realization. Yahweh wants you to live! May Yahweh have mercy for the deceived for his word will reach them in time, for His Redeemer & Savior, Yahshua, will shed his light and truth on us all. It is written, as is all. No condemnation here, only love for your soul and hate towards deceit for Yahweh wants you to LIVE, through Yahshua, our Messiah! (Yahshua means, "Yahweh is Salvation", and its the only true Name of our Messiah. Not Jesus or else but, YAHSHUA MESSIAH.) As I do. Seek Truth, Seek repentance, reflect on yourselves and embrace humility. Through Yahshua Messiah, may you find peace and unity in Yahweh for His Kingdom is at hand. Call to Him with His name, for Who ever believes on Him will not be put to shame. Repent! Rejoice in Rightousness! Live! ALL Glory be to Yahweh.

Bruh' we here!
Although this song was made before COVID, I found it during 2020 when it grew more popular due to the name. It resonates deeply with how I felt during that time, and I still return to it constantly when I find myself still unable to let go. In a single year, I lost so many friends and relatives either to the virus or suicide during quarantine. Most of them died alone and afraid. Three years later and I still can't bring myself to move on.
COVID changed me. I feel like the life before it was just a dream. As if we transitioned to another, darker branch of reality, leaving the brighter days behind, unreachable anymore. I stopped caring about people and life in general. I'm not sure what to do with this feeling. Life goes on but I just don't feel any excitement about it.
Dont let it go
Take it to God, give it to him, what has happened now, there is no going back, this is a state of man that cannot be fixed by politics, health authorities, celebrities, academics, scientists - this is it, our new, dark, cold world, people who care & love are just buffeted about in it & if they're lucky they will find a kindred soul
One of the dancers really reminds me of J Dilla appearance wise, that was a nice touch.

I cant tell you how i felt watching this video the first time back when it dropped. I still haven’t seen a video since then that has wowed me as much as this one did
Notice how the kid doesn't have a right arm at the beginning of the video, but towards the end as he's about to shoot who I presume is his father, you see a sort of robotic arm in place of his previously missing limb (kinda like the terminator, hence the name of the video). Which leads me to believe there's a higher meaning to this. The ending is meant to represent how the kid unintentionally killed his father by entering a dangerous situation (that wasn't shown in this video), causing the father to risk his life to save his son. The son lost his arm, while the father lost his life. The people covered in white are meant to represent the evils (from the "dangerous situation" I mentioned above) that led to the son killing his father. But that's just how I see it, of course. The video is pretty open to everyone's own interpretation.
A few things I have noticed.
0:45 Little boy is missing his arm.
1:43 We see a man covered in white, like a dust.
2:13 is the rock quarry
2:18 the bus says Pleroma and "Your Dead"
2:38 Lotus Flower is on fire
4:43 Son kills father.
So Little boy was playing in a rock quarry and got stuck, the three apparitions and father were killed trying to save the little boy. The father gets on a bus leading to his ultimate destiny, there was no other choice since he did not have a matter in it as "god" had planned this all along and he had fulfilled his role in this life. The boy leads him to the River Styx so he can pass from this world to the next. The son kills the father, as he did in real life. Not intentionally. The father ultimately sacrificed his life, to save his only child.
My interpretation may be wrong, but I am seeing a lot of greek mythology here. The burning lotus flower could possibly mean that his soul is dying or his lifeforce is coming to an end. There was a man stirring something and I am still having a hard time finding the meaning in that.
. Dus10125 Coronus is name from greek mythology too. I think he was Apollo's son.
That or because the son recoiled from him while he was on his death bed. Everyone put their hands on him, and his son didn't... Showing no will to join in the loving/healing action of soothing him perhaps led to this dreamlike escape, regardless of the lost hand, and this lack of action translates into a powerful ending reaction in the father's mind.
And I just see the people in white to be like reapers, following death in its shadows creating an uneasy almost inescapable approach.
. Dus10125 Yeah, Maybe the son had no control over his "robotic" arm, which back's up how he couldn't control his father's death, he could only watch it happen.
Good point! Urine Denial
My favorite song on the album. I have a strange feeling this is what death is actually like
Same
This is not what death should be like. Death should be peaceful. This whole video reeks of disquiet and subliminal messages.
That ending gave me the biggest goose pimples I've ever had.
It was horrifically beautiful.
Goctagon I'll never see Death in the same light! This video was everything.
(LYRICS)
[Verse 1]
Don't come back
Cause I might just save you
Baby don't come back
Cause I might just save you
The days of men are coming to an end
So come with me, if you wanna live
You come from a time where they look the same
And think the same too
There's nowhere left to go, so I might just save you
They all want to be saved
My hands been bloody since the day I came
It's such a shame, you've seen my violent side
So baby don't come back
Cause I might just kill you
J K... Thank you.
Salute, thanks🤘💯
J G you da real MVP
Combined with this video, the lines "I might just save you" and "So come with me, if you wanna live" sound more like a threat than a glimmer of hope.

@@Tugun87 Please, study more before spreading falsehood upon falsehoods. The Bible you read has supressed and changed the names of Prophets and Your savior, to hide the name of Our Creator, Yahweh. Jesus Christ is the name of two gods combined together.
Man's traditions and deceitfulness will not save you, open your eyes and see. Yahshua says; Those who have ears, let them hear! And those who have eyes, let them see!
Yahweh is your only means of Salvation.
Book of Yahweh is the closest Book you will get to the closest translation of the original scriptures. Yahweh never refers to himself as god to his people, he is our Heavenly Father. "I AM THAT I AM" Yahweh's wisdom CAN be within us all, follow his laws and commandents and plead for him. You are being deceived by the Roman Catholic Church, KJV is altered and not accurate. Catholic means "Universal", meaning they worship all gods, the hosts of heaven, not our Creator as they should. Vatican means "Divining Serpent". Christianity is a sham, as all 4,199 religions are. Yahweh is the Mighty One, our Heavenly Father and Only One in Heaven above that should be reverenced, BY HIS NAME, NOT "GOD". Yahweh is not a god. In all of the original Scriptures, the Heavenly Father and Creator Yahweh was never known as a god or lord. Think of who you are reverencing. Repent and realize this, this is information. Your choice to research and validate and come to a realization. Yahweh wants you to live! May Yahweh have mercy for the deceived for his word will reach them in time, for His Redeemer & Savior, Yahshua, will shed his light and truth on us all. It is written, as is all. No condemnation here, only love for your soul and hate towards deceit for Yahweh wants you to LIVE, through Yahshua, our Messiah! (Yahshua means, "Yahweh is Salvation", and its the only true Name of our Messiah. Not Jesus or else but, YAHSHUA MESSIAH.) As I do. Seek Truth, Seek repentance, reflect on yourselves and embrace humility. Through Yahshua Messiah, may you find peace and unity in Yahweh for His Kingdom is at hand. Call to Him with His name, for Who ever believes on Him will not be put to shame. Repent! Rejoice in Rightousness! Live! ALL Glory be to Yahweh.

@@Tugun87 Thus, the first ecclesiastical gathering in history was summoned and is today known as the Council of Nicaea. It was at this gathering that Christianity was born and the ramifications of decisions made at the time are difficult to calculate. About four years prior to chairing the Council, Constantine had been initiated into the religious order of Sol Invictus, one of the two thriving cults that regarded the Sun as the one and only Supreme God (the other was Mithraism). Because of his Sun worship, he instructed Eusebius to convene the first of three sittings on the summer solstice, 21 June 325 (Catholic Encyclopedia, New Edition, vol. i, p. 792), and it was “held in a hall of Osius’s palace” (Ecclesiastical History, Bishop Louis Dupin, Paris, 1686, vol. i, p. 598).
From his extensive research into Church councils, Dr Watson concluded that “the clergy at the Council of Nicaea were all under the power of the devil and the convention was composed of the lowest rabble and patronised the vilest abominations” (An Apology for Christianity, op. cit.). It was that infantile body of men who were responsible for the commencement of a new religion and the theological creation of Jesus Christ.
Constantine’s intention at Nicaea was to create an entirely new god for his empire who would unite all religious factions under one deity. Presbyters were asked to debate and decide who their new god would be. …the names of 53 gods were tabled for discussion. “As yet, no God had been selected by the council, and so they balloted in order to determine that matter… For one year and five months the balloting lasted…” (God’s Book of Eskra, Prof. S.L. MacGuire’s translation, Salisbury, 1922, chapter xlviii, paragraphs 36, 41).
At the end of that time, Constantine returned to the gathering to discover that the presbyters had not agreed on a new deity but had balloted down to a short list of five prospects: Caesar, Krishna, Mithra, Horus and Zeus (Historia Ecclesiastica, Eusebius, c. 325). Constantine was the ruling spirit at Nicaea and he ultimately decided upon a new god for them. To involve British factions, he ruled that the name of the Druid god, Hesus, be joined with the Eastern Saviour-god, Krishna (Krishna is Sanskrit for Christ), and thus Hesus Krishna would be the official name of the new Roman god. A vote was taken and it was with a majority show of hands (161 votes to 157) that both divinities become one God. Following long-standing heathen custom, Constantine used the official gathering and the Roman apotheosis decree to legally deify two deities as one, and did so by democratic consent. A new god was proclaimed and “officially” ratified by Constantine (Acta Concilii Nicaeni, 1618). That purely political act of deification effectively and legally placed Hesus and Krishna among the Roman gods as one individual composite. That abstraction lent Earthly existence to amalgamated doctrines of the Empire’s new religion; and because there was no letter “J” in alphabets until around the [sixteenth] century, the name subsequently evolved into “Jesus Christ”.
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. I'm so sorry, flylo :'(
I still cry. This song was during a huge turning point in my life, 5 years ago I lost myself, I gotta pick these pieces up before I'm gone.
@@A5h3n.it happens to the best of us. Stay strong there is always time to find better means of life
The facial expressions of the actors, the freaking attention to detail. What a masterpiece
This song will play at my funeral
Seeing his son before he died was what gave him peace to finally pass on.
i like to think that the son's missing arm is an emotional wound. He seems to be the youngest, and his "incompleteness" feels like unfinished business. He's dying before he's gotten a chance to do... something. But what? Well, we see him distanced from the rest of the mourners, watching numbly from afar.
He never had the chance to teach his son how to say goodbye. How to be strong and keep living through one of the most painful things a person can experience-- the tragic, early death of a parent to illness.
So in his dying dream, he's trying to escape from death and follow his son and live just a little longer... But in the end, that wound has already been patched together. He'll never be the the same as he once was, but he is strong enough to let go and say goodbye. He didn't fail his son after all.
That last shot is PHENOMENAL!

Artist are mediums of God consciusness, the universe comunicates with us through art
we are taught that only the white man's experience is universal, but this is one of those stories that feels like it's drawing from deep, true, and ancient wells. This is a piece of beauty. This is art. This is life.
I disagree with you... We aren't taught that.. u may have been taught that.. i grew up in Hackensack NJ and the white mans experience was no different than the black mans when we were growing up together. I agree that it draws from n ancient well. That was well put but to draw divisions with such a powerful work of art is to detract from it.. i cried during the video and I am white.. u are taught only what you want to believe, And I believe the our pain is universal
If that's what they've taught you where you're from, maybe you need to move.

Y'all did something genius here. This chopped-up, slowed-down version of the song lends so much more to its power with the slow build-up, dramatic pauses, airy interludes. Blows the album version out of the water, which is no small feat.

I like my grind and twerk videos as much as the next guy -- but these are the videos that black music should REALLY be known for. SUBSTANCE haunting ---like that time your old uncle grab you and tell you some stuff about your family that shifts everything you thought about your peeps and answers so many questions.
Armon Mitchell the funny thing is original black American music was filled to the brim with substantive themes like the ones in this video. Blues music explores humanity, in all its glory and horror like no other genre.

Love this comment
Yes dude. Yes.
This song help me break free from a curse. Thanks Flylo
Have to put down my dog today. And I needed this song more than anything.
This song and video is so beautifully done that when I’ve come to a conclusion on it, it gives me chills down my spine. How do we really see death? Is it going to be beautiful and we go out on our own terms? Or will you succumb to its soul numbing grip? Fly Lo claims himself as a front running advocate on death. And looking into his background and some comments on here.... hmmm I’ll give him that for now I guess. But the way he personified death in this video/song is genius. When the man began his journey at the top of the stairs, to me it seemed as if he noticed that the window was open, which might not should’ve been. Then I noticed the gentlemen coated in powder in the living room. Maybe this could be a relation to the powder being like dust blowing in the window that’s mysteriously open? Maybe I’m reaching. So he proceeds downstairs to see the three men in the living room expecting him, but he’s not expecting them. He takes off immediately in a panic looking for...”comfort”. He finds it in the form of his son, who is a few shades darker and is draped in a dark blue tattered shirt. In Asian and middle eastern cultures, blue represents death and mourning. His son leaves in which he proceeds to follow. I want to stop right here and go straight into the lyrics. If you don’t know them then pleas look them up and listen. “Baby don’t come back, cause I might just save you”. The sons presence was grimacing....as if he didn’t want to be there. What if death is or could be a being that’s projected and personified and has feelings and emotions. Kind of like how Hades despises the gods of the heavens because they get the glory while all he knows is the suffering and pain of those who have fallen. In a way his “son” did save him. From him being lost and afraid to okay I don’t know what this is but YOU definitely seem familiar to me. Part 2 of his journey begins and I say that because he felt the presence of death creep in and didn’t know how to respond but with panic. Usually when one gets sick or is nearing the end of their life, some have time to come to grips with it and some don’t. Even the people around them don’t. But this wasn’t for anyone else this was for him. He had to muster the courage to follow his son down a dark path in which the son looks back the same time Fly Lo says “come with me, if you want to live.” That part resonated in me so deeply from the first time I saw this. Then again they see the three men in white but this time at a distance, yet close. Almost as if they were shepherding him to his destination. Like “we was gone be here regardless fool! Made us waste all this gas money to come get yo ass! Only lord knows how many miles you dun ran In this heat. Just sweatin fuh nuthin! Ya ass could’ve been in the ac cooler than a polar bears toenails, but ya got scared!” Like why run away from something that’s going to be inevitable, which is like running backwards to go forwards because while you’re trying to keep yourself from it, the moment you turn around is when you realize how much energy was wasted trying to avoid the inevitable. ”There’s no where left to go so I might just save you.” Yeah most of us would react the same way let’s be honest lol. Back to the shepherds, who were trying to get him to his destination, in white, resembling sheep’s wool? But also death and mourning in African culture as well. Beautiful representation. Through the darkness you find light. Not in. And when he came out to the sunrise he dropped to his knees. Surrendering, not giving up but letting go. “They all want to be saved” is like how we want death to be comfortable and understanding to our fear. Is it how? Or is it when? These questions drive me crazy in thinking of my own. Did he become in control of his death? Or did he become comfortable with it? He did in the end look toward his son, the bringer of his own death in which he found comfort, He gave him the green light. “My hands been bloody since the day I came, it’s such a shame you’ve seen my violent side. Baby don’t come back cause I might just kill you.” That was it the lyrics combined with the gunshot to the back of the head to the beautiful sunrise as he falls. To him realizing that his biggest peace was in nothing. I wonder when Fly Lo says “Don’t come back” if he’s talking about reincarnation. Like he’s telling him to fulfill your purpose in this life so that you won’t have to live another trying to figure the same thing out....purpose. Because next time in that next life, I may not be so nice. But that’s just my take on a piece of this song 😂 so much thought put into everything. I love this shit yo! Peace and much love if you’ve made it this far 😂

You ain’t kidding!

Wow same here . i was watching something from the CDC and then this was in my feed . thats funny
Vaalaso same
Well Coronavirus and Coronus are two entirely different things.
me too hahaa
This is one of those pieces of art that inspires and makes you think "I can never make something this good no matter how many years I work" at the same time .
I watched this video today for the first time and literally read "coronavirus - the terminator" on the title
Oh, btw, this is one of the best videos i've ever seen here
man i wish this were the version on the album. something like this benefits from having room to breathe.

For me I really liked the fact that steven was in his own video( if that was him) and loved the lighting on this one.
Yeah it was him. And he's been in all the vids for You're Dead
Steven is in his videos( getting there and never catch me ) but yeah in this one he is more present.
And yes the lighting really captured the ambience of the song.
Just... WOW! I was like mesmerized watching this video. Congratulations!

One of the coolest music videos I've ever seen
The video is about how the kid got into an accident but the dad saved his son from being killed. The son lost an arm still and his dad us paralyzed (or on verge of death) and the son feels like it's all his fault like he pulled a gun on his dad shot him. He feels he killed(paralyzed) his father.
