damn, this song is amazing. Surprised there's only 2 comments so far! I also like Anarchitect interpretation. I'm not so great at interpreting songs, but i guess however someone interprets the song for themselves, then thats good enough. With that said, I'm still unsure of the meaning, but the sound is awesome.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky, And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me? Would you pass me by? Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing, Just to wait for a while.

Love this part. I think its somewhat self explanatory. She wants to be saved by someone (the person shes singing about). Shes unsure if he/she will save her (hold me) or if they just don't five a shit about her
