Fragments of Faith Lyrics

Cover art for Fragments of Faith lyrics by Lacuna Coil

I like stealtheharmony's interperetation. However, Thius sone means something different to me. See what you think:

I'm thinking the song is about losing faith in something, maybe a higher being, another person or the self. In the first verse he says that the promise has been broken, that his disease wont go away, he's lost, he's nothing. He wants something to believe in ("tie my hands"), he wants his faith back so he can feel alive again ("let me feel alive one more time").

In the second verse he talks about losing innocence, ("halo fades, sin is calling") and its like he had faith in something and now that it has gone he feels like something has been stolen, that he is no lonmger innocent. He also makes reference to his soul to take, suggesting again that he wants something else to have faith in, to believe in. It is almost like a part of his was stolen and he wants another soul to be alive again.

The courus appears to be saying that he feels theres no time left, he's lost forever, that the pain is deep down. However, there is hope "never let it go"

Any comments???

I think it's more about how this person cannot "add up" to his faith. the broken promise referring to something he himself broke, not his faith, and now he has to deal with the consequences, "my disease everlasting, let me bleed forever." He feels that if someone (his faith, a deity) doesn't rescue him soon, "Come and get me, lost in here I'm nothing" , "My soul to take, come get it", that he will be forever lost. This is just what I get from the song.
