Okay, so before I get a lot of people telling me I am wrong, this is MY interpretation of this amazing song. As I am an atheist I do not see the song in the same light as Christians, my father is very anti religious, but personally I wish I'd grown up with something as close to a lot of people as the god they believe in. Though, for me I have been taught not to see it.
This song to me signifies my ongoing struggle with depression. Allow me to elaborate;
"My hands are searching for you, my arms are outstretched towards you,
I feel you on my fingertips, my tongue dances behind my lips for you," ~ minutes before it catches up to me. I swing my legs over the bed, stretch my arms and it's there.
"this fire rising through my being, burning I'm not used to seeing you" ~ it's relly getting to me, taking over, and you can see the sadness it never used to leave, and I'm still coming to terms with it.
"I'm alive" ~I'm alive and that's something, at times I don't want to be, but for some reason I still am and if I'm lucky enough to be alive, why not go on?
"I can feel you all around me, thickening the air I'm breathing," ~It's there, always there, always with me, in every breath, every thought and every step.
"holding on to what I'm feeling, savoring this heart that's healing," I have to hold on to the positives and try and be happy, and though it hurts one day my heart is growing stronger.
"my hands float up above me, and you whisper you love me,
and I began to fade, into our secret place," ~it takes over me, it deludes me into thinking there is nothing but sorrow, so I fade from my personality and I become almost like a zombie, not really caring for my life.
"the music makes me sway," the call of the sadness makes me sway from my morals and I forget my promises
"the angels singing say we are alone with you," I wrote a song, about how I see depression as an angel, almost a guardian helping me become stronger and relish happy times when they come, they tell me to stay, and I don't want to but I must.
"I am alone and they are too with you," ~even around friends I feel lonely, so lonely like it's me and the sadness, those dark angels and me, alone
"and so I cry, the light is white, and I see you" ~ I break down, the light at the end of my dark times so close yet so far, and I see the cause of ahy I am this way and I get pushed back.
"take my hand I give it to you, now you owe me all I am," I give myself up to it, I can't fight it, and I lapse into a low, it takes over, and I see no hope, but I will get back the happiness I lost one day, because life owes me that at least
"you said you would never leave me, I believe you, I believe" I don't see a way out anymore, I don't believe I can get there, but I must somehow, and I will it to be over.

@TJSkailette Just to say I totally agree with you and never saw it as a God thing even tho I was raised in a christian house
