i beleive this song is about coming out of an abusive relationship, "i bet a lot of me was lost" abusive relationships can make people scared to express opinion or do anything without being told to do first "you are surrounding all my surroundings" the abuser often takes up most of your life and becomes the only thing you can think about "twisting the kaleidascope behind both my eyes" it also changes how you see yourself and things around you "and I'll be holding onto you" holding onto the good person they were when the relationship started "tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine" when the abuse comes in it starts gradually so the person won't just leave "this aint a noose this is a leash and i've got news for you, you must obey me" abusive relations slowly kill a person from the inside out, but they often don't see that it was killing them until they're out, they're convinced the person is a bit controlling, not killing them |

I still believe it's about trying to leave an emotionally abusive relationship, and how they're still trying to save this relationship and hold onto it. "Entertain my faith" is like saying be the good person I know you were and "twisting the kaliedascope" is altering how they veiw themselvs because a big part of emotional abuse is convincing whoever is being hurt that they can't find anyone better so they won't leave the relationship |

He's talking about an important person in his life he looks up to who is giving up, and knows if this person is gone he'll be lost. This person is telling a lie by telling everyone they're fine and nobody should worry. This person never got the recognition they deserve "the man deserves a medal but he never really one a prize. I think "he goes to lock the door" can be taken metaphoricly, he's shutting people out, or literally, closing the door so they can off themself. If you take it the second way it's far more dramatic as it now seems as the person telling the story is actually banging down the door and trying to tell them it's ok and they love them |

It goes deeper than a guy talking to God, this is told from the perspective of a guy who is about to give up on himself and is turning to religeon as a last resort. The worded represents Christ, while the desert and sand are things like science people use to dismiss Christianity. Also calling himself an addict is important because addicts are usually seen as hopeless, Godless, and less than others so he's saying he's a non believer trying to talk to god, or write to him hence the pen |
