"The song is about some of my experiences as a teenager with close-mindedness. I thought the people around me seemed lost in a world that I really didn't belong in. It's kind of spiritual."
I'm not a Christian myself, so I'm sorry if I seem a little bit off. For me this song describes how I see Christians. But I also think it's sung from the point of view of a Christian, or someone who wants to convert to Christianity.
"When they all come crashing down- midflight
you know you're not the only one
when they're so alone they find a back door out of life
you know you're not the only one"
The Christians are in emotional turmoil of some sort, and they turn god as a means to get through it or get away from their suffering.
"We're all grieving
lost and bleeding"
Just saying that everyone, no matter what religion, are in some sort of pain.
"All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader."
Saying that the Christians or Christians-to-be have always wanted someone to turn to in times of crisis, and they found that in god and jesus.
"all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me"
To me this seems like a Christian is noticing that they are starting to question the bible and all the teachings of their church and such, and it freaks them out because they don't want to stop believing or else they won't be saved.
"So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized
you know you're not the only one"
The Christians are so afraid of seeing or believing other ways to view the world that they simply shut their eyes to it (srry if u find that sentence offensive). And the speaker again knows that he/she is not the only one who is like that.
"and you're right I don't deserve but you know I'm not the only one"
The Christian knows they don't act as a Christian should and sins so much that they don't deserve god, but they know they're not the only one who doesn't deserve him.
"Don't look down
don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you
don't look down, you'll fall down,
you'll become their sacrifice"
The Christian is telling themself not to get enveloped in the world, or else they will fall into sin or not believing and not make it into heaven.
"Right or wrong,
Can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you.
If I can't feel,
I'm not mine.
I'm not real."
They're saying that whether Christianity is right or wrong, they're going to stay faithful just out of fear of being without god or jesus.
again, srry if anyone finds this offensive, but this is wat i think the song is describing. and it kind of applies to amy, cuz she isn't exactly a model christian.
first of all, this is off a website:
