So hold your head up high and know it's not the end of the road
Don't despair when things aren't going your way or when you get lost.
Walk down this beaten path before you pack your things and head home
If you are going through a tough time, (death of a loved one) mourn them and then move on. Or if you've got a drug problem, realize it and recognize the problem and work to end it.
At the end of the road you'll find what you've been longing for
If you persevere and keep God, your family, and your real friends in your heart during your struggle you will find the light.
I know 'cause my feet have scars to show
Obviously, the writer (Spencer) is telling you that he knows the truth in this because he had fallen and worked to get his life in order and to better himself. (i believe he had a drug/alcohol problem)
I was lost with vague direction and no place to call home
In an interview, Spencer said that drugs we're his substitute for a "strong family or loving girlfriend" He was going nowhere with his life and didn't have any loving family/friend support.
It's time for you to press on
This is not your war
Set your sights to North and press on
Move on with your life. North has a big N so I am assuming it is in reference to God. Follow God and His Word. Make moral decisions and help yourself as well as others.
This is not your escape
I interpret this 2 ways. 1) don't kill yourself 2) an angsty, immoral lifestyle won't solve the problem
Wash away what they thought of you
Because in this place, we're all as good as dead
Believe in God and don't be afraid what others might think. They are the ones that are bringing you down.
...end cycle...
End the cycle of your destructive lifestyle.
Behind the mask you'll find yourself alone
Whether doing drugs, getting drunk all the time or making immoral decisions... it's just not the answer. You're putting on a mask to blend in with the crowd or to fool yourself. When you are alone you find yourself empty and sad (ANGST!) (be it a legit problem or just wanting to feel wanted/important/etc.)
It's not the end of the road for you
It's not the end of the world. There will be more chances, more redemptions, more girls (or boys), etc etc. So just keep on praying! Life is just one big test! Live it and don't lose yourself in it. Trust in God, read the Book, listen to Underoath, and stay optimistic. Life is good.
