I love this song so much (does my username say it all?)
I agree with what's been said, but I see this song fitting into so many situations.
1) A relationship, but she wasn't happy with it for some reason, probably because he was selfish since he says "Save me from myself", and she told him this "your words cut me through", and so she said "things are gonna change" meaning that she'll leave. but he's "never letting go" because he truly loves her, and her words broke him down, and now he's going to change because he loves her.
2) Or basically, the relationship is abusive, but he loves her too much to completely let go, and thus he feels broken, but things are going to change because he so broke the only thing left to do is repair.
3) Relating it to stuff I'm going through now with a friend: he gave her everything he had ("undivided honesty"), but she never truly cared ("lost causes"), and he knew this would happen, so he tried to avoid falling for her but he fell in love anyway ("i tried to avoid you but the orchestra plays on"), and though he gives her so much care, she gives him nothing but selfish or shallow or ungrateful words, which "dismantle" him entirely because he loves her so much. Yet, he can't leave because he just gets so caught up in the pain of the constant rejection "hang on what you repeat", and now he's finally hit a point where the relationship ended, but he's not done yet because she dismantled him, and it's time to repair.
and the whole "hands like secrets" line i think can go two ways as well:
hands as in "im ready to strangle you i'm so hurt, it's so hard not to"...but i don't think Christian is that violent >_>
or...hands as in "i would normally reach for you, but i know i can't because you're just going to break me again and again...
nah that was a good explanation i like the third part the best. i can relate to it and i would interpret it the same way. i think it's such an awesome song about rejection and how hard it can be when a friendship/ relationship does not go well.
