Everything is open to interpretation-it's personal. For me it has two meanings. The first is the lyrics about love and the breakup of a relationship with a girlfriend. The second meaning for me is very difficult to listen to at times. It has to do with the relationship I had with my mother. The last night when the doctor told my father and I that she would die in an hour maybe five hours (they were keeping her alive with drugs-she had a d.N.R.- her sickly body was so frail that cpr would not be possible anyway).

I would walk out to the car and listen to a rush of blood to the head. Then when I felt strong enough I would go back to her room. I was in my late twenties when I had a severe problem with substance abuse. This took it's toll on my mother. Mentally, physically, financially and monetarily.' Running in cirles.' 'coming back as we were.'

My repeated attempts to drink like a normal person(not to mention drugs) 'nobody said it was easy.' Trying to get back the healthy adult relationship we had. And most of all watching her take her last breath and dealing with her death.

'i'm going back to the start.' Wishing things could go back to the way they were before the damage I caused-that she chose to endure due to unconditional love. 'tell you I'm sorry.' I never got the chance.

This is a cover version of a song originally recorded by English alternative rock band Coldplay. Willie Nelson covered 'The Scientist' for the soundtrack of Back to the Start, an animated short film about a farmer who turns his small family farm into an industrial animal factory. THE SCIENTIST (ACOUSTIC) - COLDPLAY an incredibly simple but fantastic song to play on an acoustic guitar! There seems to be a lot of confusion about the key of the song. It does state below.

' come back to haunt me.' Regret, remorse about what I could not change before she died. 'tell me you love me.' When I didn't feel I deserved it she randomly said: 'I love you.'

Shocking to me but wonderful at the same time-knowing she had forgiven me. Thats a gift that keeps me going during hard times. 'you don't know how lovely you are.' She was a rare slice.

I have not met many people as special as she was. She was an amazing human being. One who will always be greatly missed. I could go on but I think you get the general idea. I personally believe that the song is about a man who has just made a major mistake and therefore caused the breaking up of he and the love of his life.
