What does everyone interpret the "One final heart-break" to be? I guess I've been thinking it was the moment you dropped everything, let go of everything earthly that was your focus, (which is quite hard!) and started living for God.
Also before reading the lyrics I always thought "Free us our blind state" was "free our apostate". I guess it really doesn't change it all that much... ha
@pnew If people are intellectually honest with themselves they've truly let in the thought that there isn't a god. Staring that doubt in the face it can be frightening and even overwhelming, the thought that there may not be a loving god waiting for us on the other side of their final breath. Your " one final heart-break" is the one where your heart stops, at death. Even if you believe in god, you are still blind to what lies beyond that final breath. I don't care how strong your faith is, everyone has doubts. No one knows for sure...

Your " one final heart-break" is the one where your heart stops, at death. Even if you believe in god, you are still blind to what lies beyond that final breath. I don't care how strong your faith is, everyone has doubts. No one knows for sure what is beyond that final breath until it leaves their body. In the meantime, this life is FULL of heart breaks, whether you've "let go of everything earthly" or not. No one is immune to having their hearts broken over and over and over again. It doesn't stop just because you "let go and let god". Life will kick you in the face regardless. And proclaiming belief/faith in god is like putting on a giant bulls eye.
This song is about overcoming all of that and holding to faith in spite of it, right through your final heart break.
