Lyric discussion by disconnecktyler 

this might not be completely correct but here's what i got out of it:

the first part is talking about people that are always blaming others(fingers bent back to the palm, except one) besides that im not sure what the first few lines mean

the chariot is a christian band so when he writes and says in the middle that he was not placed on the earth just to live life for himself(standing ovation and its romance) he was placed for a purpose. he believes that the world is coming to an end(grass of this ever fading earth) and that he must warn others before its too late(i was placed for the warning, so heed the warning)

then when he writes about blood on the roots and blood on the branches i think he is saying that if Christ's pure and innocent blood is your foundation(roots) then you too are covered with it and cleansed of sins(branches)

if not too sure how accurate all that is but i love the chariot and the way that josh scogin writes, they are brilliant and this is the best song from their new album
