I'd just like to add that I love the dark feeling of these lyrics. I love the fact that they are Christians, and still have such a dark, raw vision, which is also very profound. I think the song is about the recognition that life is a bitch, existence and human condition themselves can be big bitches sometimes, and when you get to face them, you can only count on you. You MUST count on you.
I think the story present in the videoclip illustrates this wonderfully. The old man hasn't got his heart. Life/existence was bitch enought to steal it, to dilacerate his whole heart. And still he BUILT a new one... he built a heart BY his own, FOR his own... can you imagine how PWNING that is? How wonderfull this metaphor is? The videoclip just blew my mind for that!
I agree with everything that's been said here.
