One Last Breath

For me the meaning of the song is very clear, but I can probably understand based on the fact that I've gone through the same situation. The song paints a story, in my mind I see a middle-aged man who is at a point in his life where everything seems pointless. He may have lost his wife, has no close friends, hates his job, and has nothing to believe in. Tired and depressed, he decides to look to god and the bible for help. He asks the lord for a change in his life and an opportunity for happiness. A week or so goes by and nothing seems to happen so he loses his faith and gives up on trusting god. Every where he goes hes sad, and every sees sadness in him. To the point where he decides to stop the depression and sadness. The Man walks over to the edge of a tall building and considers jumping. But right before he does, he decides to say one last prayer to god, just in case their is a something left for him in this world... This song is his prayer: "Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding on to all I think is safe" -Please show yourself to me God, My life is becoming meaningless and I'm trying to hold onto the few things that make my feel safe and that I belong. "It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape" -I'm stuck in this rut and im going nowhere, and I'm trying to find the right path "I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say, let me say"

• I tried to live and move on when i dealt with my life struggles, but I cant take it anymore. This is my last cry of hope, and I want you what I have to say.. "Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking Maybe six feet ain't so far down" -(This is a little difficult to interpret) I feel like hes asking god to hold him and stop him from jumping. If a normal person was close to falling off a cliff they would freak out and back up, but because the man is thinking of suicide, hes not afraid. hes thinking maybe this inst that crazy of an idea. "Sad eyes follow me"
• Nobody seems to show any interest in him, the only people who look at him and think about him become sad, because they amuse he has a sad difficult life. "But I still believe there's something left for me" -Hes hoping that there's still an important reason for him to continue living. "So please come stay with me 'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me for you and me" -This is the climax of the song, Hes asking god into his heart to stay because he believes that god is his last hope and god can give him a purpose. "Between you and me" His purpose lies in the love of him and God.

Well, that's my interpretation, I love this song and it seems very clear to me. I've been in the same situation where you feel like you have nothing left to live for you just someone to tell you your wrong. I hope you guys liked it and feel free to comment on it
