i had time to think it over.. and not to sound stupid, but i still agree with myself. lol
i'm a christian, and i don't see anything about god in this really... only if you force it. because, like most songs by any artist, it could fit. but this band gives constant reminders that they're not a christian band.
i think that it's about a guy who gets in relationships with a gril who makes him do stuff he knows isnt good or wouldnt want to do. even though he's heard how bad it is.
"i have heard that winter's cold"
he knows she's taking him in the wrong direction
"we'll give way to summer's warmth"
he does what she wants anyway
"oh no, like salt in the snow, I'm melted and left all alone"
he's the salt, and that kinda symbolized him standing up for himself, but when he is "the salt" the snow (the girl) melts, and he's left alone.
but he always comes back to her wanting to get off the road where he's alone
"give me shelter from the storm, i know it's a lot to ask for considering how recently i've piled the dirt on your name"
I took you for granted again,
And drew you aside and pretended
For one minute that I had control
Of my life, and direction.
It seemed to be in.
I was wrong again.
i think this is how.. he thought he could go without her so he got rid of her just to prove that she wasnt all he really lived for.. but then he realized that without her, he has nowhere to go.
like i said. you could easily apply that to god, but you could do that with almost every song about a girl that doesn't use the word "she"... i don't think a band trying to break out of the christian mold would write a god song.
