God:
"Don't be late, there's no time to be afraid. There's a way to clean up the mess you made.
Man: "If I could tell the truth or lie would I attempt to do at the same time? Expect you to apologize for trying to make me so uptight? Don't say its just a game we play. This is still MY life, not yours to define."
then starts actually thinking about the life he's living
God: "Anyone in their right mind would never let you inside. Anyone in their right mind..."
(note: God isn't "anyone" and therefore will welcome the prodigal man back no matter what)
Man: "I've broken ties with the neighborhood, I'm feeling like a bum in the city, waking only to take a drink from an empty glass of nothing good. And sinking like a stone in the sea without the oxygen i need, deciding as i wait for air (sin) to entertain - careful not to breath in. The right time and the right way to elevate, but careful not to breath in the air that so proudly puts to death...
Then realizes that he's SINNING AGAINST GOD!!!
"My own fathers name!!!"
God: "I remember when your hand started shaking.
There's a better way to clean up the mess you've been making"
of course this is probably not how Emery wrote the song, though who knows, it could be. It's just my view of the song, and the meaning I take from it.
Here's how I see this song:
