I'm not sure if I got it all right, but this is my first thought after hearing the song.
"Open that door" referees to the "Memphis will be laid to waste"-lyrics where it means to open up and let sin get into your life.
"I’ll follow you into that space.
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten."
If we start to sin it's hard to stop again and we go into that place where nothing is regretted (because often we do not even think about our daily sins), but it will never be forgotten by God.
"Where is that grace that carries me out?
So strange it’s mine."
So it's amazing that God has given grace and forgiveness to us and for our sins.
"It’s closed and locked but If you open that door,
It won’t be yesterday when,
Before the days of collapsing,
And I’ll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you."
God created us without sin. Sin was locked away, but if we open the door i won't be anymore.
And yesterday before the world collapses means before he started committing this ever-returning sin.
He would have stood through all the lines (he would have been a good example and not opened the door) but now he is just making it all back to God (he is doing all the wrong things this song is warning about).
Summary: Before he started doing this sin he thought it would be easy not to open the door, but now he has opened it.
"Can you help me every step of the way?
We can bury that battle and bury the cause.
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time. "
Asking God for help and strength to defeat this sin and get it out of his life. And he admits that opening the door was wrong.
"Everyone knows
Cause they see the glare in our eyes.
Careful now, don’t drown your self in sorrow.
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down and now
I’ll carry on till it’s over… and it’s over"
This part is hard, but i guess he is talking about how it is our fault that Jesus died on the cross - because of all our sins. And yet he (we) will continue sinning tough we know the price.
So all in all the song is about how we all fall into sin, but God has given us grace and mercy, and he got the power to help us trough this life. But even tough we know how much he has suffered for us, we still continue in our own ways.
