This song for me is about someone realizing how Inside us all is this ignorance and self righteousness and he wants to be cleansed of it so he can go and live his life free of such burdens (Tear this anger from my soul
Wash me clean and leave me whole)
This song also deals with in the very first verse, a feeling inside that he's wrestling with bigot feelings (the ignorant theme again) and how if he didn't have those feelings weighing him down, he'd have a free heart & a free mind and better clarity of life hes leading. (Free my heart to feel again
Free my mind to understand
To run undeterred)
He feels once the burdens of such feelings hes wresting with Inside him are lifted he will then be able to appreciate more wholly the beauty of the world around him. (Pull the blinders from my eyes
Let me see the endless skies
And drown here where I stand
In the beauty of the land)
