Well you've got me working so heard lately
Working my hands until they bleed
He's back with her, but he feels like she is in control and he doesnt want to do anything wrong, so hes working harder than usual, and he's humbled
If i was twice the man I could be
I'd still be half of what you need
Yet he still can't live up to her standards, because even if he really tried, he still wouldnt be enough
Still you lead me and I follow
Anything you ask you know I'll do
But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you
Yet, he still wants her and will do anything she asks. And he is ok with it, but he just wants one thing in return from her...marriage. (Consecration in this sense means to make their relationship sacred by going through a religious and permamnent ceremony or rite)
Ringfinger
Promise carved in stone
Deeper than the sea
Here, he's comparing the marriage vows and the symbol of the ring as something that can never be broken again, (cause he wants to feel secure in the knowledge that she will never leave him again)
Ringfinger
Sever flesh and bone
And offer it to me
Here he just doesn't care about how she treats him, all he wants is marriage...at any cost. He'll take it even if she cut's her ringfinger off and gave it to him
You just left me nailed here
Hanging like Jesus on the cross
I'll be dying for your sins
And aiding to the cause
I think hes saying he feels crucified by her cause shes getting away with a lot of things and hes letting her
Wrap my eyes in bandages
Confessions I see through
I get everything I want
When I get part of you
he doesnt want to see or believe how she really is as long as he gets to have her
Sorry about my explanation being so long, but this is just how I see it.
I just had to analyze this one...
