Here's my take on the song. I think it is about a relationship that has gone too far sexually, and the boy has asked the two to take a break to think about things for awhile. It begins with him reflecting on the relationship (looking at pictures, writing about disappointment).
"Dripping where I stand
From my watery hands
Hoping to get past the open bedroom door
Where her clothes on the floor
Remind me of our conversation
The feeling of slight hesitation
To turn out the light"
This part makes me think they have had sex with one another. Afterwards, he took a shower, which could be symbolic of trying to wash off the guilt he feels.
"Fourteen days now (I'm not)
Since we started (I'm not hiding)
To complicate the situation (From this situation)
I’m not hiding (I'm not)
I’m just buying some time (I'm not hiding)
For us to find the back door (From this situation)"
It has been 14 days in the relationship since they began to have sex with one another, and he wants to take a break to find the metaphorical "back door" out of this situation. He doesn't seem to want the relationship to be over, but he knows the sexual impurity is wrong. At the same time, he seems to be defending this decision, when he states that he is not hiding. He wants to face the issue and overcome, but doesn't know if he can.
"There’s nothing left to say (Don't believe me)
To excuse the way that I behaved (When I say it's over)
I still feel him
Gripping like a stain (By the time you're gone)
To this fabric (It's almost over)
Torn at every seam
Thrown away"
He can't rationalize the behavior he has engaged in, and he doesn't want to even try. I think the "Him" in this section is Satan.
"Why should I take all the blame for all my mistakes? (I’m without regret)
You were there with every promise made to break (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret? (I’m without regret)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won’t forget (I will not forget)
When did you become the one without regret (Kill me, kill me)
Kill me, burn me down, I swear I won’t forget (Kill me, kill me)"
At the end of the song, he seems to be expressing anger towards the girl for not feeling guilty. He doesn't understand how she cannot feel regretful for the choice they both made to engage in premarital sex. In the end, he seems to realize that they cannot be together anymore because they wouldn't be able to overcome this sin, especially if she doesn't feel convicted about it.
I've been searching for the meaning to this song for quite some time, and I just found it. that was a lovely interpretation. Reading it, I could feel the emotion of the song. Thank you.
