Cover art for Write It Out lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

I think it is a mixture of things. I can see how I tis talking maybe about the music industry, and song writing, but I think there's more. Too me this song sounds like he is talking to God also (I belive Chris has said he is a Christian). Like he is thanking God and is also being persecuted as a Christian.

And with stones They took their aim And I knew I would die at their hands For I was crowned a heretic to be loathed and set fire And laid upon a funeral pyre

And as I cast my eyes to the sky I felt your touch So gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved
