Sorry for this comment being so shallow but...

That's just plain wrong.

Underoath – I'm Content With Losing Lyrics 19 years ago
Well the first verses seem to me that it's about a break up:

Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you
The way I think it should be

They're relationship is falling apart because they're always fighting, and can't work things out:

We're always
Pulling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights
We can't talk our way out of them

He's not the one who's usually starting the fights, but he is this time:

How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?

He's saying that the bulk of the relationship is falling on him and that the outcome of what's going to happen is going to be because of his actions:

I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I'll walk around with this rope in my hands
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
( not sure of the meaning of the rope and tying himself down.. possibly so he can't cause anymore damage than he already has?)

He wants to leave her, she thinks that she was the one that put the most into the relationship:

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes
You were the one that tried

He feels that they accept each other, which is why they are still, together but they obviously fight a lot, although he still wants to give it another chance:

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time

The moment when anything could happen, and things can go any way in the relationship:

This is the moment that we all live fore
Are you ready?

He wants to know how to get through the problems in the relationship, without either of them having to compromise or be hurt. I THINK he's feeling that she doesn't really care if he has to compromise or if he's hurt, becuase they're so far apart at this point:

You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking
I can't feel you
You're so far from me

Great ending to the song, repeating that what he does now is critical and it could mean the relationship:

I'm half way there and it's all on me


OK! So that's my take on things. Love this band =)
