Damien has written this song for the documentary 'When the dragon swallowed the sun' about the issues and conflicts in Tibet. He first wrote it in 'you' form to point at the suppressors over there and what they had done - he then realised, however, that he could not point at them without pointing at himself. For all that they had done, he had basically done as well. So even though initially the song was not about himself, it turned out that it could be interpreted like that anyway.
I just love, love, love this song! It's so full of emotion and power, yet fragile. Love it.
