I think this song is indeed about family but more importantly it is about God, and the Book of Revelations. Chris has a irish-catholic religious background and i think, overall, the song reflects the fear of being judged before god in our final days on earth.
The first verse is saying that the end of days is coming upon us.
The second verse is about him protecting his family and he prays God will save his family before the Armageddon and take them to heaven.
The chorus is simply saying we cant change the past or control the future so we have to forgive ourselves and forget our mistakes and move on...
The third verse is referring to God(the eye) watching from the heavens and he sees all of our accomplishes and all of our sins
The fourth verse he says he wonders what God holds in the future for his family and hopes they will be blessed.
Towards the end he asks for one more try to change where he went wrong
And last he says he has done the best he can and he has forgiven himself for his sins, now he is just waiting for.... the shape of things to come.
What do you think? Anybody agree/disagree with me?
