Most of this bands songs are about their Christianity. I can relate to this song in a million other ways aside from my relationship with Christ, but that doesn't change what the writer of the song meant. Knowing what Blindside is all about gives you a true understanding of their music. I find it beautiful that their songs can have such universal meaning to people, it allows people to know what a relationship with Christ is like by creating imagery in their lyrics the listener can relate to.
As for the music video- its dripping with symbolism. The girl is running, and the guy is chasing her. Like God chases after a sinner, note that at the end the girl herself comes to the guy- which is how it has to be, God cannot force you to come to him- you have to do that yourself. His arm growing long represents this in that his arm is so long but he still cant reach the girl.
