Out From Under Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ShadowLove97 

Cover art for Out From Under lyrics by Red

Just like another song by Red, this song doesn't seem like it's about God at all. I feel like it's about either a lover/sibling/friend;

"So tell me, where were you When everything fell down like thunder"

Or about an inner demon of his (again, and yet still different than the last couple of songs dealing with inner demons) that he had listened to and hadn't realized that it was tearing him down until he was almost "spiritually dead";

"Left me for dead, inside my head Couldn't you see that I was still breathing?"

It also sounds like the singer was so depressed and angry that he was driven to cutting himself;

"Cut me I bleed, reveal me I need I finally broke in the pressure"

The pressure being his problems. And yet, this part still bothers me;

"Screaming, I reached for you I couldn't get out from under"

I'm not sure if he's reaching out to a lover/friend/family member or to God, but it doesn't sound like it.

Or maybe it's about something completely different.

Like the comments above me were saying, it could also be about life before God and how people will break under pressure at one point (pressure being their problems) and, despite peoples problems, they don't realize that their dying spiritually each day without God.
