This song is about God and what he would say to us. Clear as that. In the first verse, He knows that hardships will happen and he's warning him that it is going to happen, but he can't give him the answers to the problems... he has to find it himself. The chorus is God saying that:
"I wish you well on this trip to find yourself... wish I could help, but I can't help you find yourself"
The second verse comes after a hardship has come upon him. He loses his faith in God and isn't restoring that relationship with him, but is foreshadowing when he says "it's all gonna come back around"... life won't be like this forever
and then God is reminiscing their past in the bridge:
"And we were 16 at the time
Nothing could ever change our minds
We were one step below invincible
And we always fought it
You've never been the same
You were so scared to make a name
Then you threw it all away
And I wish you'd come back now"
He found God at the age of sixteen, and they were together for a time. They went through a lot together, in fact, their relationship was so strong, they were practically invincible. And then he moved away from God and went to other things and therfore wasn't acting like himself, and God misses having that relationship with him and he wants him to come back to him, thus the ending:
"Find yourself
I can't help you find yourself"
He wants that relationship to start up again that he says that he has to find himself again in order for that relationship to begin again.
WELL that's just what I picked up from reading that song. But I also thought of Dave Smith when I first heard the song... maybe Trev had Dave in mind when he was writing. Very good song. I love it <3
