This makes me think of death.
If you just, look at the lyrics and imagine that they're about death...
Well, it's creepy. It kinda works.
The first verse seems to be like the fear of death, because they try to pray away the thoughts of dying but it isn't working.
After that, it seems that they're confronted with death.
'Break my legs to hold me to you'
That's my favorite line ever, but... Yes. I believe that 'you' happens to be Death itself. Death seems to want her, and it is selfishly taking her away from life.
And after that, it's just before she's about to die. The quiet is like the calm silence you feel before death, apparently.
And 'breaks the tie that binds me to it' refers to being cut off from life. If you kill the body, the soul has no other place to go.
And then at the end, where she's saying 'catch my hand' etc etc.. It's where she wants to live again, like she's calling out for another chance. She wants to be pulled back into life by someone and comforted.
Eh, maybe that someone is who she'd call a god.
Anyway, I love this song. It has a lovable creepiness to it.
