I find it interesting that some of you think this song is about God. Even more interesting is the fact that nobody has refuted it...
I think the lyrics could definitely be interpreted that way; that's how my relationship with God is. I tried all the things the world said would help me fill the void — things that promised to make me happy and content — and in the end I was left with nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was all just a waste of time; an endless pursuit of temporary "remedies." My world came crashing down — and I crashed into Him. My life has never been the same since.
This song could also just be an incredibly romantic song about someone he's totally and completely in love with, but the symbolism in the lyrics ("Where I've been, well it's all a blur. What I was looking for, I'm not sure," "you breathed your breath in me," "you will consume me") are just too close to the Christian experience to ignore.
That's what makes a good song, lyrically: the ability to make one think about the possible meanings, or to shorten it a bit, to make one simply just think.
Anyhow, I'm really impressed with Daughtry's album. I'd have to say "Home" is my favorite. That's a really feel-good song. It kind of tugs at the heart with a sense of yearning...
