my boyfriend loves this song and he told me it was about the lead singers girlfriend being an alcoholic.
"1,2,3...
and if i could swim,
i'd swim out to you in the ocean,
swim out to where you were floating,
in the dark,"
..the ocean is representing a bottle of alcohol.
in the dark.. she's a closet drinker...
"and if I was blessed,
id walk on the water you're breathing,
to lend you some air for that heavin sunken chest,"
..i'll try my best if i can to help you out
water your breathing.. she drinks so much like its water..
"cause they chose you as the model for their empty little dreams,
with your new head and your legs spread like a filthy magazine,
and they hunt you and they gut you and you give in,"
..she was beautiful, perhaps even a model, her new job started to put thoughts into her head, making her think differently, maybe even doing something she regrets. she can't say no, and goes along with it.
"and if I was brave,
id climb up to you on the mountain,
they led you to drink from their fountain,
spouting lies,"
...I'll help you get through this.
drink from the fountains = referring to more drinking / pressure from job
spouting lies = all this drinking is causing her to lie more & more..
"and id slay the horrible beast they commissioned,
to steer me away from my mission to your eyes,"
..I'll fight until you are entirely only mine.
looking in your eyes gives me strength..
"and I'd stand there like a soldier with my foot upon his chest,
with my grin spread and my arms out in my bloodstained Sundays best,"
..I wont stop until your mine..
"and you'd hold me,
I'd remind you,
who you are, under their shelves..."
..I love you, but stop lying..
"I'd walk through hell for you,
let it burn right through my shoes,
these soles are useless without you,
through hell for you,
let the torturing ensue my soul is useless without you..."
..I'd do anything for you bc I love you so much.
there's no point of living if your not by my side...
"and if they send a whirlwind id hug it like a harmless little tree,
or an earthquake,
I'd calm it,
and I'd bring you back to me,
and I'd hold you in my weak arms like a firstborn..."
...throughout anything, I'll be there and protect
you'll never get hurt
we'll always be together
your so precious ...
"Now id walk through hell for you.
Whats an adventurer to do but rest these feet at home with you?"
..now that you just put me through hell,
all i want to do is spend my life w/ you...
atleast that's what i think the song is about.. i can be wrong
My personal interpretation of the song is that he has experienced love for a girl who has gone to live in a hell-like sort of world. (It seems that she may possibly be a drug user, maybe a model for the centerfold, and have very love self-esteem) He wants to be in her life, and therefore he has to come into that hell in order to make her realize that there's something better out there... That the expectations of the people in her life aren't rational and that she does not have a price tag attached. To make her understand...
