This is one of those song that can fit any situation anybody's going through. I've always seen pieces of it as referencing depression or some kind of mental illness"
"You cannot control me from the other side"
-The sufferer facing their problem head-on, trying to fight it and refusing to let it get him.
"When nobody wants you in their life...it's alright, it's gonna be alright"
-People on those situations often feel like the people they care about are abandoning them. This one's pretty obvious.
That whole next verse I think is telling the person that there's good in even the hardest and darkest situations if you can hold on
"Wake up, you're alive. We're on your side"
-I've always thought this is the most beautiful part of the entire song. To me, it's always implied so much more than words could ever say. I feel like the singer is trying to relate the endless beauty and possibility of the world, and is trying to get the person in question to "wake up" and see what's possible. I want to get that line tattooed on my wrist
