You could take it secularly and say that it's a person who is plagued with depression and doesn't want to bother the one person who will understand with all their problems until they truely need them in a very very dark place. Or the way I take it is he doesn't want to go to God with all of his problems, similar to Fake You Out. He wants to pretend like it's all fine and put on a happy façade except it's not. He's plagued with all these demons and the guilt that he "has killed a man" which is Jesus. He took the life of a truly perfect man in order for him to love. He doesn't feel like God is close because of the "one way conversations" of prayer. But in the end he knows that the Rock is there for him to anchor on and decides he needs Him to stay with him through the night. |

Won't the demons say good night so I can say goodbye? Can't they just leave me alone? Won't you torture someone else's sleep? They don't know what I'm like; the One who created my head, skin, hair, veins, thoughts, and dreams is the only one who truly knows. So I decide to cut my heart in half. One half set against the demons, asleep as they try to torture me. The other half set on God as he fully fills the sky. |

There is no doubt that Tyler is singing about his mom wanting to be taken care of when his father dies but there's so much more to it. Disclaimer this is what I take out of the song; the beauty of lyrics and any form of literature is that everyone takes something different out of it and that's just sick as frick. His mother is asking him to do something he physically cannot do and yet he promises to do it anyways. He promises to give his mother everything because he loves her and that's what he wants for her. But we're flawed. "We're broken people." We can't do everything. We might as well become bums because no matter how hard we try we can't give the people we love everything want to give them. Referencing the video, we are only half of a person, unable to be and give everything we want to be and give. But we still make these promises even though we know we can't fulfill them. Why? Because we were made by someone who can fulfill those outlandish promises. Someone who isn't tarnished by the disease of sin Tyler promises to cure his mother of even though he himself is affected. There is someone who can cure us of it. There is someone who can make us queens and kings of everything. There is someone who can put us on the map. All you have to do is ask and accept Him. |
