The music is very powerful and lyrics are meaningful. I think the song is about the man and the woman, who are in love with each other, but not together (don't know why). And for a moment he felt the strength of her love, and it was so powerful like the lightning ( it is striking down from clouds and it happens so fast that you can not realize what's happened just now?) He feels himself like a lump of meat, and without her electricity ( power of love ) he is nothing ,and her power of love restarts him, every time he feels it. And he understands, that if the day comes when someone must die , he will pray that he will be first, because without her love he will be lost. And as he is a man he must be the responsible one to confess about what he feels , because he knows about her feelings , and he is ready to be stroked down by her power of love.
