I think this song, as ambiguous as this is going to sound, is really about the redemptive power of Christ. It's a cry to lead us home, because the rest of the lyrics describe living life in a sense where we are flirting with a destiny we cannot but recognize as death, tempting though it maybe. But Christ tears us away, even breaking the wrists we are clinging to it so eagerly with and drags us back to solid foundations, and slays the fate we've kissed, or flirted with.
This song is one of my favorites on the Album. Quite heavy, quite meaningful, quite good.
