This is my opinion 'bout this song.
In big lines,I think is about an artist,a genius,she writes songs in the dark,she feels inspiration in the dark,but she is also hiding herself there,in the place where once upon the time she couldnt stay for too long,cause it was frightening her.
The "artificial light" that she speaks about is a...god,created by our hands,and idol,something to belive in,because we cannot accept Him(the true flawless purifing light),so she hides herself from him,because she is afraid of her sins,of her flaws.
Well,the Christian doctrine says that the Hell is a red hot place filled with imps and..other kind of things like this.Well,I contradict this doctrine,because the hell is seen in different ways by every single person,because we all have different fears,persoanlly I see it like an endless sunless misty frostbitten tundra filled with beasts that could tear you apart.Why do I speak about things like Hell?Well she says she's afraid of silence,further in the song she says she's scared to death of light and silence,well the light,as I said early,I think is either God or the final judgement and because she isn't very sure about how pure she is...how innocent she is,she also prefers to be afraid of the silence,her version of..hell.
Fill this space idle words...
Jesus kill me inside this
Raise me up to live again
Like you did
There,in that gloomy,obscure place,she didn't have any kind of belief,or something to fill the hole inside her spirit,her essence,so she prefered to deceive herself with idle words,until the moment she descoverd Jesus and she begged Him to break the shell she was living into,to relese her from that prison she was held like a captive,her body,and to be reborn like a phoenix:new,innocent,pure,like He once did.
She was also aware of her bad side,otherwise she wouldn't have asked Him to "kill" her.All she ever wanted was God's forgiveness,to penance herself.
Now I am mute despire myself
All of them are gone
The silence overtakes
The idle words forsake and I am left to face me
I'm helf accountable
For every idle word
Curse the idle word
I think this passage is about how she imagines,the final judgement and how she sees herself banished in "silence",so I'm comming again to the doctrine,that says that when you stay before Him,He puts in ballance the good in you with the bad in you.Eventually,you are either sentenced to Eden or to Hell.
"All of them are gone" - your friends,your family,those empty words,in front of Him you're all alone.
For the last 4 lines...lets say you weren't too..religious and you said all kind of idle words about God,when you are in front of Him,those words forsake you,you no longer have the courage to admit them,finally,you are kept like an hostage,to see every single thing you've done til your fate is sealed forever.
Glory shows up
Exposes us
I'm naked here
Forsaken here,by the dark
Damn the dark!
This staza is about the end of the world,when the angels blow the bugle,when He comes on the earth and separate us in 2 "packs"...when the light suffocates even the darkest corner,exposing everyone of us,every sin,everything..when,your best friend who kept you safety from yourself til that moment leaves you,and you must face yourself your sins.
Finally,you are either punished or rewarded for the way you lived you life
