this song is about how we as human beings have the power to either help or destroy others with our words or actions. We as human beings get in the way of our own growth by creating crutches that we lean on) instead of mannin up and doing the right thing that we know we should do. Anger can be a crutch and it seems to fit here: "Destroyed the crutches that I built myself, I found that they were never sound.
It won't consume my heart anymore."
Anger is consuming: "This is a poison everyone knows
It runs through my rivers.
Created and cured by the same, and it will flow."
If you feed anger it will grow and some people feel a false sense of strength with it ( think bullies) And it will lead to lashing it.
It seems this song is starting with a problem, but working through it. By the end he recognizes the problem and vows to fix it:" And I know I've built a bed of peace
That restores my heart once I lay my head down.
Rebuilds the crutches that I destroyed myself.
I plead to change my life, just before I dream
And wake to realize that change is inside me."
Meaning that you can improve yourself no matter what the obstacle in your way. Great message.
