This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
My fall draws near.
My life fell out of my hands and into
This hole where everything's cold
I lose the feeling of guilt. There's
Nothing inside, my innocence died.
And now the emptiness grows, it's
Bringing me down and taking my crown
I've seen where everything's dark.
It's here in my soul, I'm losing control.
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for every thorn I've driven in.
Within these walls you'll see
Alone in here - the end.
Before my very last day I'm making it stop.
I'm turning it off.
I'll fight the feeling I have until everything's
Gone. Resistance has won
Now time is healing these wounds and
You are still here releasing my fear
My life fell out of my hands. They
Took it away, I'm taking it back.
[Chorus]
And everyday I feel like this weight's
Constantly dragging me down
Broken for the last time (Never get the best of me, won't get the best of me)
I've got a heart of steel, but your words are
Constantly bringing me down.
I'm open for the first time (Never get the best of me, won't' get the best of me)
[Chorus]
My fall draws near.
My life fell out of my hands and into
This hole where everything's cold
I lose the feeling of guilt. There's
Nothing inside, my innocence died.
And now the emptiness grows, it's
Bringing me down and taking my crown
I've seen where everything's dark.
It's here in my soul, I'm losing control.
[Chorus]
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for every thorn I've driven in.
Within these walls you'll see
Alone in here - the end.
Before my very last day I'm making it stop.
I'm turning it off.
I'll fight the feeling I have until everything's
Gone. Resistance has won
Now time is healing these wounds and
You are still here releasing my fear
My life fell out of my hands. They
Took it away, I'm taking it back.
[Chorus]
And everyday I feel like this weight's
Constantly dragging me down
Broken for the last time (Never get the best of me, won't get the best of me)
I've got a heart of steel, but your words are
Constantly bringing me down.
I'm open for the first time (Never get the best of me, won't' get the best of me)
[Chorus]
My fall draws near.

From blessedresistance.com
This song is about the power that media has over people today. We live in a society that is force-fed media-slanted garbage from the day we’re born. It’s hard to avoid it even if you try. From the objectification of women to the importance of financial gain to the justification of substance abuse, it’s all there- at every newsstand and on every TV channel. The over-saturation of worldly values is no irony. It works. People relate to these desires and that’s why it sells. I’m no different from the next guy when it comes to this stuff. I have the same sinful nature that anyone else might have. The one thing that I have that a lot of people don’t, is a relationship with Christ that helps me overcome these challenges. I know that if I ask for direction and guidance in my daily walk, He’ll help me avoid the pressures that are pushed to us everyday.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
