VNV Nation – Gratitude Lyrics 14 years ago
I think that one part in the chorus is "for the purpose found along".

Def. a song to the universe, and the people in one's life, thanking for all hard lessons learned from pain and suffering. It's a great step in spiritual growth.

Vax, I think it is steel. Could be referring to death, as in, there is no escaping physical death...so right now he wants the light, to experience while still on this plane

I think that bit in the first section is:
"Awe and wonder I'd embrace, and the world anew again".

Also, I think it might be "wash this world FOR me", although I do end up saying "from" when singing with it.

I personally see it as an awakened connection with spirt/god, divine light, whatever you want to call it. There are a lot of ancient (and modern) spiritual quotes and mantras that convey the same message. Who will know for sure, but considering how spiritual and themed the rest of the album is, i can't see it as a love song kind of thing, in that way. but up to each i guess. This is my favorite VNV Nation song now, by the way. No doubt.
