After Meat Loaf released his first album "Bat Out Of Hell"
he got deeply into drugs and alcohol, and he nearly died.
His wife stood by him and helped him back to health.
This song is about coming back from the brink, rerdemption, and gratitude.
Notice the following lyrics in the sense of that story:
"I was lost till you were found
And I never knew how far down I was falling (Drugs)
before I reached the bottom"
"I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling in the chains Of my master" (Drugs and booze)
"I could laugh but you could cry
And I never knew just how high (Being high)
I was flying with you
Right above me"
"For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revvin' me up when I'm starting to stall
And all in all
For that I want you"
" I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line (The hopelessness of addiction)
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day (Help me kick this)
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody (I can't do it without you)
To make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody
With open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet
that I love shine through" (It's all closing in on me)
