Amazing, plodding hard metal riffs. mmm tasty. Not to mention some insane guitaring by the man Tremonti, perhaps the most talented major recording guitarist today (the shreds hanging off each lyrical section in each chorus are simply drool-worthy). So is Kennedy's end note (wow that man has a voice! he's in the league of greats like c. cornell, w. staley, and e. vedder)
The lyrics in this song make me think about one trying to seperate himself from former wrong-doings and start a new life, fearing that the way of life the writer has been living will soon destroy him. in other words, not so much "I wanna turn over a new leaf", but more like "I NEED to turn over a new TREE in order to LIVE". He expresses a (religious or not, you decide) need to be redeemed, as if his life really does count on it.
