This is truely a great song by Anberlin that talks about how people can stop caring and it may seem like no one cares about you, but God is always there for you and will always love you.
Is this where the interstate ends?
In coastal towns like this
Waiting for my world to cave under
We seem to invent ourselves (we seem to invent ourselves)
In places left unknown
If hope could only find me out
In this first verse, it seems that Christian is talking about hiding from God in a sense, when he says "we seem to invent ourselves in places left unknown", meaning that people create who they are without God. "If only hope could find me out" seems to say how he wants to be able to have hope and for God to find him and set him right in His path.
In the second verse when Christian says "Although I know a thousand names, I see my only friend" he is referring to God, that although he knows so many people, he immediatly would reconize God in a crowd and he knows that God is his true friend that will stand by him for everything. "I feel helpless"--feeling not that great without turning to God for help. I'm not so sure about the rest of that verse.
Is anybody out there?
Hello Alone!
Broken hearts like promises, I left my last unknowns
Is anybody out there?
Hello Alone!
Cause the coldest winters thrive on broken hopes
Broken homes
This whole song seems to also refer to possibly a time when someone in Anberlin might have been going through rough times and wanted to turn to God, but didn't have the strength. This seems to show a hopeless situation when it seems to the person as though God isn't there.
and it should be that the coldest winters thrive on broken HOMES.
That's all I have for my interpretation of this song. It's one of my favorites from their new CD. Truly amazing!!
