I know this is probably not what it was written about, but whenever I listen to this I have visions of Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings attempting to take the Ring to Mordor (the ring which Gollum often refers to as "my precious"). The ambience of the music feels like it paints a picture of the desolate wastes Frodo has to cross along his journey; and certain lines, like "Too tired to go the other way/ Too late to wait another day/ I'm going on," and the climbing references, could portray the determination he has to get there, despite the difficulty. The overall eerie and sort of vague feeling of the song also makes me think of how Frodo probably feels as the ring's dark power is affecting him--like he is a slave to its often overwhelming influence, and that he feels isolated from those around him ("Where did you go? / Where did you hide? / All I can do is watch you pass by").
Whatever this song is actually about, though, I love it :) Lifehouse does not ever disappoint.
