Back my feet against the wall
and take what time it takes
'cause I wont be around to hear the call
and I wont be around when you wake
but silence breaks without a sound
I'll guide your guiding light
as the rain falls softly to the ground
we will march, marching all through the night
When you're scared
and you're calling out
but I can't be found
well hold on. just hold on
I'm a war propped shell
of my former self
now I will not complain
about these days, they're so blue
But you don't even know why you feel the pain or what you came and you gave to
and take what time it takes
'cause I wont be around to hear the call
and I wont be around when you wake
but silence breaks without a sound
I'll guide your guiding light
as the rain falls softly to the ground
we will march, marching all through the night
and you're calling out
but I can't be found
well hold on. just hold on
I'm a war propped shell
of my former self
about these days, they're so blue
But you don't even know why you feel the pain or what you came and you gave to

I guess the meaning seems a bit obvious and refers to finding one self but there might be more to it that I'm just not picking up on although I do really like this song.
Just saw them perform this two days ago. Amazing and moving! I love this song. As for the meaning, I'd have to agree with Jessica--it's a tad obvious, but meaningful nonetheless. It seems as if it's about admitting to someone you're close to you won't be around to help them because you're having issues of your own (trying to find yourself), but once you're sorted out you'll be right there to help them through anything. I feel the chorus reflects that. Anyway, that's just what it means to me, as I've had said experience many a time myself.
