When I listen to this song, it makes me think that this is how Ronnie feels about finally making it in the music industry. I dont know how much you all read about the RJA and how much you know.. But Ive read that Ronnie and Duke have had to deal with band members losing faith in the band.. and hard times, dreaming of making it. "I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again." This makes me think of how he's looking back and couldve been at a concert, looking up and dreaming he was on stage, instead. The quote "Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand what it takes to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end" probably relates to how happy Ronnie was when Elias, Joey and Jon were found for the band. On their site they mentions that when they found these new members it was like fate, hence "In Fate's Hands" (which was also the name of a former metal band that two of RJA's members took part in). I'm also thinking that when the lyrics "Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done and all of the things that you have shared with me" relates to Ronnie's perspective on their fanbase; thanking them for all the support, etc. And finally, I think this quote: "I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through I think there's something we can share, that's completely new" is speaking of the band's personal/confronting lyrics as well as their originality. Wow I just wrote so much...
