I used to think this song was about a girl wanting to find the right guy, but after some recent changes in my life, I listened again and now I see it in a whole new way. The song comes from the Album "Spirit" which makes perfect sense once you've read my thoughts on the meaning behind this one.
From the top<
Wondering beneath and unknown sky: she is lost.
The heavens all shoot violently: A storm, but she saw the calm ahead.
Strange fruit fell: something like a feeling of need, and she knew what is was, now is the time to go get it.
The "Stranger" is God. She is seeking God in her life, for he has been lost to her for so long, but know it was time to reclaim her relationship with him.
The clock became a bullet hole: Time became cruel to her, life was hard and getting worse.
She was hurt by someone yet again and she needed to find salvation in another form. She is tired of being alone, but with God she will never again be alone.
Blue, don't bother knocking on my door again: Sadness go away, I wont let you take over my life, Now that I have found my salvation you can no longer haunt me.
Feel the full weight of your skin, hallow out my insides to let you in: I will let go of all my past transgressions so that my relationship with you "God" will be full.
Then Finally, "Own Me", for no man or woman can own anyone else. Only God himself can own you... Your soul belongs to no one but Christ.
I know that Jewel is a Christian women and I recently found my own salvation with Christ and I after hearing this song again, I see, it, and a few others of her songs including Barcelona, as Christian based songs.
Again, this is just my own opinion, but I encourage you to listen again. Maybe you will see it to.
