"friend, please
don't take your life away
from me"
Only this sentence is enough to bring tears to my eyes.
It's about a depressed, probably suicidal friend whom he wants to save desperately. The emphasis on "for me" "from me" indicates the love and support. He is telling his friend to not kill him-herself; not just because it is not the right thing to do. Because this friend means so much to him.
"Remove yourself from over your eyes" The friend we're talking about is hiding from something. Maybe scared of what she-he's been through and just can't find the courage to live/see again. "Where light once was" and "who you have become" proves my claim. But he could also be talking about depression, plain an simple. (Depression doesn't need a reason :( )
There is also a continuous comparison between now and then. What depression can do to a person is shown clearly. "you have lost your sway and glow"
"'Cause I just wont let go 'til we BOTH see the light" Two troubled buds helping each other out. (This is what I call friendship)
The only thing I fail to understand in this song is "exterminate your bones" part. So this friend needs someone to kill him? Or maybe only someone to break the mold and make him-her free.
