To me this song is about depression and deep despair. The feeling of hopelessness, wondering if life is really worth living, and wondering if death may be the only way to escape. I also get from the chorus especially, that there is a feeling of extreme rage and hate, because there is no way to stop these feelings.
I also gather from the lines...
"I've asked you for forgiveness
I've asked you for your grace
I've asked you for your blessing
I've asked that I be saved"
that there is anger towards God, maybe a feeling of being betrayed by God.
I may be off on what the song is meant to be about but this is just my interpretation.
