Anyway, I think this song is overcoming something that this person has done. It actually seems like a collaboration of 2 of their songs(Your World On Fire + The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions) and this song actually takes direct lyrics from both of those songs.
"Your World On Fire" is about some one trying to help some one escape from their own miserable life they've created. "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions" is about some one trying to talk some one else out of suicide and to realize what a big mistake they would be making.
I think this song takes meanings from both of those and also incorporates it's own meaning in there. I think this song is possibly about some one who has ruined their life with drugs?("relapse often deals with drugs) and there is only one person they can talk to and he/she is trying to help them.
"Bring back hollow reputations.
It�s giving me what I desire.
And I desire to find the words you need to hear."
There he is saying he needs to find the words that the person needs to hear in order to save them.
"Kill. Kill. Kill. Your demons.
Face. Face. Face. Your fears.
Fight. Fight. With no discretion.
Die. Die. Die. Alone."
Here the guy is telling the other person that they need to kill their demons and face their fears or they will die alone.
"I am the messenger;
I am the one you trust with your last breath.
And you�re missing the point.
You�re missing the point of these words.
You�ve caused the blood that�s on your hands."
He IS the messenger, the messenger being the only person that the one needing help can trust, which is also the "one you trust with your last breath". Basically the only person that can be trusted to help out. Now the "missing the point" part is saying that said person is pretty much ignoring the help and "they caused the blood thats on their hands" by making their mistakes and ignoring.
"I hope you see your own life flash before your eyes.
And find that point, in your life when you realize.
That there�s something that you�ve lost.
And something went terribly wrong.
With your last breath, until your lungs collapse.
Here is basically the guy saying that the person needs to go back and realize all the mistakes they have made in order to try to correct them.
"I am the messenger;
I am the one you trust with your last breath.
And I�m betting you�ll find,
I�m betting you�ll find a way to.
Why aren�t you trying to escape?
You say you need a great purpose
I say you need to see what�s coming
The messenger part is the same. But the "I�m betting you�ll find,
I�m betting you�ll find a way to.." is saying that he knows they will find a way to correct their mistakes.
"Why arent you trying to escape?" comes from the song "Your World On Fire" and in that song the guy is saying that he pretty much is giving that person an opportunity to escape from their problems and they refuse to "escape".
"You say you need a great purpose
I say you need to see what�s coming"
That comes from the song "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions" and the troubled person is thinking about suicide, saying they need "a greater purpose" and the helper is telling them they need to take a look and see whats coming before they make that decision.
Sorry it was so long. I really enjoy this song. It has become a favorite and I needed to go over every detail :D
Great song can't believe no one has commented!
