Mercy

I think this song is indeed about God.

Angel of mercy How did you find me? Where did you read my story? Pulled from the papers Desperate and hardened seeking a momentary fix

• asking how God noticed that he needed help. It seems to me he was trying to feel whole. But what he was doing wasn't working.

And* I wanted to say All I wanted to do Is fall apart now All I wanted to feel I wanted to love Its all my fault now A Tradegy I fear

• he was in a dilema (personal) and just wanted to give up and fall apart. He tried to feel something and he wanted to love so badly, but it didn't turn out right. He may have gone down the wrong path and lost his way to what he was trying to reach.

Angel of mercy How did you find me? How did you pick me up again? Angel of mercy How did you move me? Why am I on my feet again? And I see you

• asking God how he managed to pick him up and give him the right kind of guidance. he knows his path now.

Whoa Whoa Whoa I feel you Whoa Whoa Whoa

• He can feel God there with him. (A friend told me once that he opened his heart up and spoke to God and said that he wanted him in his life, and the most unusual feeling took over him. He felt like God was there and he listened.)

Fortress of daylight Caught me on stand-by Waiting to catch the quickest plane Flying to nowhere Is better than somewhere That's where i've been and nothing's changed

• Saying how he just wanted to get away from where he was, both physically and emotionally. Saying how he tried going somewhere but it didn't work, so now he just wants to be nowhere.

I'm so lost in you A tragedy seemed to be over now A tradegy it seemed to be over now

• He is now consumed by God, and the tragedy of him losing his way and giving up is over, but it only seemed a tragedy, because in the end God came and helped him. (A tragedy means there is no good from the events that unfold, but now that God's there, it only seems like it was a tragedy as he looks back on it in retrospect.)

So basically this song is about him losing his way, he had good intentions, he wanted to feel and love, but he couldn't get there. He gave up and it was then that God stepped in and showed him the way/gave him faith to get there.
