This song is about wanting desperately to love someone, but knowing that either 1) you can't love them as much as they deserve, or 2) they don't deserve your love.
"How fickle my heart" - I often can't make up my mind
"and how woozy my eyes," - I have been crying from the pain that has been inflicted upon me.
"I struggle to find any truth in your lies" - You have lied to me, and now I don't know what to trust.
"And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know, this weakness I feel I must finally show" - I'm struggling with the truth that has come out and do not know who or what to trust anymore. I can't hide that fact, and so must show my confusion and distrust.
"Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all, but lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall" (My favorite line) - As friends, we can do anything and conquer any doubt that we can't do what ever we set our minds to. But if you fall for me, I'll just let you down. I can't be trusted with your heart.
"Lend me your eyes I can change what you see, but your soul you must keep, totally free" - I can show you the world, I can show you things beyond your wildest imagination, but you have to keep yourself free from me. You have to remain independent because I don't know how to care for those who truly love and depend upon me.
"In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, where you invest your love, you invest your life" - We have a short life, and who ever you love becomes your home and your life.
"awake my soul, you were made to meet your maker" - Make me come alive, because I feel like I'm dying.
I love this song so much! so beautiful (as all of their songs are) but this one just has so much meaning to me.
@macnoodle I dunno if you'll get a notification to my reply but thank you so much!!!!! Your definition of this song is dead on. I knew for the most part what this song meant but I was a bit confused because it sounds like the person wants to be loved but then it sounds like the person pushes the person she wants to love away at the same time. You explained it a few times tho..... she doesn't feel she can love that person as much as they deserve or that they don't deserve the love and then you also...

You explained it a few times tho..... she doesn't feel she can love that person as much as they deserve or that they don't deserve the love and then you also said that whoever you love becomes your home and your life.... I recently found out at this song meant a lot to a person I care about..... She is an introvert, I have probably come across many introverts in my life and never thought anything of it or I probably thought they were just rude. This girl is the most amazing person I have ever met, her smile glows like the moon and I feel like I can see all the beauty in her every time she lets me see it.... but sometimes she's akward, not mean, but akward, sometimes she takes awhile to put together a sentence but she's super smart. I couldn't put this altogether at first and it was all giving me some mixed signals till I figured out she is most likely an introvert. There are a lot of cons to being an introvert but the pros seem to far outweigh the cons. One good thing I saw is they don't let people in easily which can seem like a bad thing but its good also cuz when they do let you in..... They show you all of them and its special and they didn't just share that with anyone..... I'm really excited to get to know this girl more...... She's listened to this song many times and no doubt she's felt the inner meanings of this song as you have explained so well..... I kinda got a glimpse of how she views things now...... very beautiful song!
