Of course, this song is open to interpretation and as a listener one can interpret the lyrics in the way that they convey a meaning. For me, this is a song about the woman's faith, in her relationship with God. When everyone else has let her down, He will be there, next to her. b
When you hear the first verse, you initially think she is talking about her boyfriend, who is a special man, not out drinking and being unfaithful. But as the song goes on, especially in the verse where she sings: When the end has come and buildings falling down fast, When we've spoilt the land and dried up all the sea, When Everyone has lost their heads around us.... You'll find him....next to me". For me, this wording refers to the final days of the world and how, despite everything else collapsing around her, her God is next to her, keeping her safe. It's a beautiful song made richer through its deeper meaning.
This is exactly how I perceived it to be as well. She is not scared of the end or Armageddon, because she doesn't have to worry, she keeps faith, and God will be there to protect her.
