"Jumper"

"Jumper" is a song by the American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on their 1997 self titled album, and written by vocalist Stephan Jenkins.

In my opinion this song is about putting the past away...

the lyrics there says are these two kids. One of them is trying to get his friend to stop thinking about suicide and is trying to convince him that "everyone has a reason to put the past away" and start over. he says that he knows it might be hard for him and that he would understand if after he helped him he didn't want to see him again. But the kid did take his own life referring to the line:

"We'll he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows what they are doing here
And your friends have left too, you've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this"

But in the end the song says that even thought he killed himself his friend was there for him and accepted his decision because that's what's friends are for. The chorus:

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand, I would understand, I would understand"

says that he is trying to help his friend and that he is there for him and he would understand his decision.

The line:

"Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today, you can put the past away"

is just a sum up off the song that says that everybody have problem and in this case a troubled past that will not heal by it self in their life that they have to face and deal with or it will break them down.

Everybody need sometime a friend, a love, brother, sister mother, father or just a person that understands them that's there for them in every situation to help them, and make the best out of the situation...
