After I got the album, this was the first song (besides Unreachable, because I had already downloaded that one from the internet) that I chose to listen to over of the rest, based on the beginning. The choir singing, is stunning and I really jammed out to it the first time I heard it.
As far as the meaning behind the lyrics go, I interpreted this one as a love letter, type song. It almost seems like a love letter, to an ex-lover, like he wants her back.
Because, for one, throughout the lyrical part of this song, he says "you" quite a few times, as if to be speaking to a lover.
And then, "Did you ever notice, That it's for you that I've lived my life, Every time I had fun you were on my mind." I thought that part was pretty obvious.
And when he goes on to say "I've lost my perspective, I've gone off the wall. Really not really sure if I'm needed here at all." and I understood this to mean, that he's lost it now that she's gone...and he doesn't feel needed anymore.
And then he proceeds to say; "I was made to think that we would wind up round here." Meaning, maybe that he had a bad feeling about the relationship from the beginning despite his love for her?
And I thought that the last section was easily self explanitory..
So anyway, that's one way I interpreted this one. However, at the same time I disagree with myself because a love song seems somewhat out of place in this record. (In contrast with the rest of the songs) But hey, who knows..
