Well, he clearly loves someone in this song, and going to any lengths for'em, (wait i will wait, etc...")
The bits about dreams are kinda weird, theres a sens of change and destruction, but from the melody, it sounds kind of promising, despite the kinda sad images of live unloved and cities burning and worlds ending.
The crux of it is the "wound opens" passage, theres a sens of the man being revealed, made vulnerable, maybe in his dreams or sumthin. Notions odf blood could be something like notions of passion or again, destruction (not sure about that tho, thats just me trying to interpret a vaguer metaphor). Essentially, something to do with wounds, or scars coming to light and pushing people to do things they shouldnt be doing.
My favorite passage is the jealous ingrates bit. "who'll tear this world down to spite god above with his own love" that has to be one of billy's very finest lines, its like these vulnerable weak characters are taking all their passions bestowed upon them by the love of god and are turning them against him out of resentment of denied passions etc... lovely
And at the end it all boils down to doing watever he can to his last breath.
I guess the whole thing could be boiled down to thrashing around in despair, but not knowing where to take it, but watever u do, ull always be chiefly slave to watever it is thats pushing you and will do everyting u can about it "until ur last breath"
