i think the song is a very spiritual song. its about finding something bigger than yourself that moment where you find that theres sumthin greater than u really out there. i think the being so defeated part is being left in awe or wonder like that one moment that just blows you away. i think
'We knew all the answers and we
Shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious that God
Knew how much we cheated ' means that we think we know what lifes all about, what makes the world go round and were convinced were right so we 'tell it like it is' to everyone else but theres that creeping suspicion that were really not so sure as to what were talkin about and that God sees that we go around thinkin we know it all wen were really all so ignorant.
"There's no indication of what
We were meant to be
Sucking up to strangers throwing
Wishes to the sea"
i think that means that we really dont noe why we exist. we dont know why we were put here and what were supposed to do. and "sucking up to strangers throwing wishes to the sea" is like prayer. its questioning whether there really is a god or sumthin greater than us [god being the 'stranger'] and that we 'throw wishes' [pray] to what seems like no one.
i dont noe this is jus my point of view. i never really analysed the verses but they are really pretty. i never actually listened to this song and thought it was really sad but its not a happy song either i always just found it really moving.
