to me this song is about a boy (or girl, but I think it fits a boy better) who is faced with a real tough decision and he doesn't know which side to take. "I lose my hold" could be that he just doesn't feel in control anymore. I really like the line "grabbing what I need and grip it til it bleeds" because the decision he needs to make or situation he has been brought into will tear his heart no matter what, forcing him to lose someone he loves either way. "this is it, i'm shaking, my body's aching" could be where he's just exhausted from everything, that the situation is killing him slowly; "this is it i'm falling, my wings need to grow" could mean that he is either looking for a miracle to cure everything or that he needs to become stronger to make the decision.

I don't know; it's just my take on it. I love this song and I think it's one of their best. I love the tension in it too, and how it begins with a somewhat-sad instrumental piece.
