Seeing as no-one's put a meaning to it, and seeing as it's my favourite song and has been for the large part of three years, I shall give it its meaning. Its a mashup so it's talking about two different stories, but they fit so well its amazing. Underoath's song 'Dangerous Business since walking out your front door' is the in depth thoughts of a man who is driving with his partner, and wishes to send her to heaven to be with God, and therefore crashes into a wall, killing both of them, but slowly. (Hence 'White knuckle' Driving) 'Now you can walk hand in hand with Him'... Its such a thoughtful song and I love it.

January 1979 By mewithoutYou is about Life in general, our place in the world, and how we treat other people. Its about the purpose of life. 'If i could become the servant of all' He sees this as the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good, he would be serving other people to try and earn his own place in heaven. Though i think he sometimes doubts God, for example he says 'you watch me like a ten car highway wreck' as if God has no real interest in his wellbeing, but is curious none the less.

Together these fit perfectly. its so wonderful, the idea of serving and giving your life to help others, and the idea of sacrificing yourself to send someone else to heaven.
