hm... this song's definately about second chances one way or the other. i always believed it was about a girl, and he'd made a mistake and now he's dying to prove himself again. the guilt's eating him up because she/they/whoever didn't take revenge for whatever he did.
"They'd carry them off, and hobble their legs
For lesser offenses, and how I have harmed you
And still you allow me to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself"
