This song is INCREDIBLE live! Go see Blindside if you get the chance!
Here's my take on this song:
The lyricist asks the question "Are you trying to wake me up?" then questions, "but could it be maybe, it's not me sleeping. Could it be maybe you awakening?"
He continues to speak of himself supposedly sleepwalking, though he questions again, "could it be maybe you awakening?" I think he is talking of being asleep spiritually, and how everyone thinks he is the one sleeping, when really he's the one who's awake.
"(One day we'll) sleepwalk out of sight"
Then the bridge:
"One day this world will see me at the horizon." I think this is speaking of death.
"One day from a distant light." I think the distant light is heaven.
"And just before I stand to face my love," I think his love is God.
"I'll turn around and with a smile I'll say my goodbyes, just one last goodbye. Goodbye." He turns and says goodbye to the world.
When he whispers "Goodbye," the music stops, then starts again so hard and beautiful, with crazy intensity. The screams of "goodbye" at the end help to make this one of my favorite songs. A song of people sleeping spiritually, all the while thinking the Christians are the ones sleeping, when really only those who are Christians are awake spiritually. And finally a song that speaks of that glorious day when the Christian finally stands face to face with his love, Christ.
Well, thats my take on it. Maybe I took it too far. What do y'all think?
That would be a pretty ignorant statement by the artists of Blindside if you were correct, you can be of any religion or not be part of one at all and still be a spiritual person. Religion is far different from being spiritual, in fact I think more atheists are spiritual than people in Religion.

@gartley86 In 2004, I had just graduated high school a year before and listened to this all the time and wasn’t a Christian. Fast forward to 2023 and I’m so in love with Jesus. Love your interpretation of it!
