I think the song is about wanting to be a good person "hanging from the edge of heaven," but giving into the bad parts of yourself, the parts that commit the seven deadly sins. The 7 sins are Pride, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Anger and Greed. In the song, he literally sings "my seven sins." Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. In the song he says, "My pride won't let me." He also says, "I'll take my place among the angels" and "I'll reign again," which are references to pride. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Some of the songs lyrics, "Is it lust or envy?" Also, "One more taste, one more touch" is a reference to lust. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Lyrics that reference sloth are, "I can't get up. Motivation left me." Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. The lyrics "I need it all" reference gluttony pretty well. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. "I'm seeing red," is often a reference to anger. He also says, "I've let it burn, only embers left in me" which could be another reference to anger. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. Many of the lyrics can be related to greed, such as "I can't hold back" and "I just can't help it."
