I thought it was about prostitution.... I mean, there are not a lot of jobs where you have to "put up your barricades"..
Everytime I hear this song I just imagine the meaning of the song to be something like this:
"Put up your barricades, there`s money to be made"
To me, this line might be about prostitution and how someone has to really "put up a barricade" in order to deal with this job
"What you�re asking for means the world to me
You draw close as you whisper: �precisely� "
Not so sure about this line.... maybe he has to keep a secret or something...? "means the world to me" is mostly used in a very positive way, like a wedding proposal or if someone donates a kidney to you or something^^, but I just can't figure out how to interpret this positivly
"Your safety assured behind those egg-shell walls of yours"
Egg-shell walls are not very sturdy, they break easily... so I think this line is meant as a critisicm... the person in question is not safe at all and might act rather stupidly/naiv because she thinks herself to be safe
"Friends and family glide by on wings of faith"
I thought this was about religion... ("faith").. maybe the person in question comes from a religious environment? "Glide on" might mean they don't see what is going on and are blindly "gliding on"
"Faithlessly I don�t recognise a face
Not a single face"
Maybe the "speaker" knows something (someone he knows getting in to prostitution to make money???) and does not understand the world anymore and thus doesn't "recognise a face".. or perhaps he is so dissapointed or surprised by the actions of the person in question, that he doesn't recognise her "inner" face anymore ?
"Take this sorry soul
I�ve made enough of a mess on my own
On my own"
He doesn't want to be bothered anymore but still is? lol i don't know :-)
