Shame the rest of the album this came with wasn't as good. However why I'm here is to explain what it's about...
I think it's about when a person loses hope and meaning of why they're alive. And they pray to whatever to show them a sign that there is more to existence. This bothers them because they're stuck in this world that seems meaningless, in their body and they wish they could get out. It also seems the person he is describing wants to destroy themselves in one way or another for a few reasons, but is more thinging of commiting suicide. There is lots of self destruction in this song.
Fainting Spells Lyrics
Give me this before I slip,
before I sink, because I think,
I think I may have found the short way down.
Just give me something
Cold and clear -
The love spent here,
As I had feared means nothing dear.
I pray to reason I'll forget.
I'll trade what's left.
JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING!
chorus
I'm the devout,
Praying just to get the blood out,
Bound by this flesh I own.
I'm the devout,
Cutting just to get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone.
I will defy the pulse disguise
But please pretend we're still alive
If it gives you hope.
I've sung and drowned.
I'm taking the short way down.
Give me something!
chorus
I'm the devout,
Praying just to get the blood out,
Bound by this flesh I own.
I'm the devout,

Cutting just to get the blood out.
Desecrate til we die alone.
Give me something I can take,
Can take to make the memories fade.
Poison kiss, remember this,
I never was meant for this day.
