I agree with the interpretation that this song is about rape, but I also wondered the possibility of the lyrics "I thought my sacred body With him it would be fine" referring to a priest as a rapist and the backyard being a cemetery because I kind of thought about why she trusted this man so much and it would also explain the bones. But it could also be an acquaintance or a father who's a murderer as well, though rape is pretty much an emotional murder too. |

Yeah.. Some of the songs by Lifehouse I do interpret as being about relationships between people, but just to clarify why I interpret this as being about God I try to put a little more thought into this. "I'm finding my way back to sanity again Though I don't really know what I'm going to do when I get there Take a breath and hold on tight Spin around one more time And gracefully fall back to the arms of Grace" I see this as a moment where he feels as if he's on the right track and though he doesn't know what his purpose is at the end of it he still trusts his feelings. "Spin around" could mean that "finding my way back to sanity" has happened before, maybe often losing his way and also, the way back has probably not been easy to find. "Grace" I simply connect to God's grace. "I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and I'm Trying to identify the voices in my head, God which one's you? Let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel alive And break these calluses off of me, one more time" There are many things distracting his mind, maybe his own doubts, desires and anticipations etc. He's trying to find God's voice underneath all that. "Calluses" could represent exhausting burdens he carries and he knows God is able to remove them from him and make him feel alive again. "Cause I am hanging on every word you say and Even if you don't want to speak tonight that's alright, alright with me 'Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside Heaven's door And listen to you breathing, is where I want to be, yeah Where I want to be" He still waits and doesn't care how long, it is enough just to know God is there. "I don't want a thing from you Bet you're tired of me waiting for the scraps To fall off your table to the ground 'Cause I just want to be here now" Maybe he doesn't want to bother God, though he wants nothing from God (perhaps meaning something that he acknowledges can't compare to God or has no eternal value) he still waits for the scraps to fall because he wants all he can get of His grace, even the smallest pieces. |

Yeah, it's an old comment but anyway... What do you mean "the same feeling as secular music"? This particular song gives me comfort because through it I know there's someone else struggling with the same thoughts as I am. ACB songs don't make me feel "bad" (or whatever feeling you meant). There is more content in them than in some Christian gospel songs that only make screwed up people like me feel desperate and even more doubtful of our own salvation. ACB songs actually say something meaningful. They give me hope that God hasn't abandoned me. People are different and need different things to be reached. God knows what those things are. |

Songs can always have different meanings to people, depending on their life experiences or their needs etc. In my situation I hear this song as being about God and that's the way I need to hear it. Other people interpret it differently and that's good. It would be quite tedious if everyone would interpret it the same way. |
