To my own understanding of Schopenhauer and his idea about Will and will, I believe that this song encompasses the essence of Will being in itself its own priority. In this song, Amos Lee is focusing on his own outcome and his owns needs, but the Will, or God whom he speaks to, has been neglecting him "hanging out in that old violin while I've been waiting for you to pull me through." He is being neglected and from the tone in his voice during the song he is pleading for something that he cannot obtain. However, Will is not concerned with our own desires, but it is something in itself and could survive without us. In Amos Lee's own will there is pain in his voice but it is devoid of pleasure .
