Placing the music video aside, I think this song is about a girl and a guy. He wants to know what’s going to happen next between them; “Show me what’s left”. She went through many phases; going out with him, leaving him, becoming angry (beautiful anger), breaking that pattern, empty and perfect, shattered and worthless, and then things got better. He became “Sober and silent” “Faded” like he didn’t matter to her and “violent” angry because of it. He wants her to save a space inside of her heart for him and not let him go. “We’ll make it through” is him saying they can pull through and be together if she tries. “Bring the broken back to life” I think means bring the relationship back to how it was. He wants to fix it. She’s been through several phases and he’s sober now. He won’t ever let life bring him down again and he wants her to “never surrender” never stop fighting her demons too. At the same time, he doesn’t want her to give up on their love or friendship or bond that they once had. It’s okay for her and him to recover but he’s saying after rising from the ashes, don’t forget about everything they were. He wants to be held on to.
(describes her)
Carry me under, make me abandoned
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Beautiful anger, breaking the pattern
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through (He’s saying he believes they can pull through and all the pain she felt, he felt it too. He bled for her, metaphorically)
(describes her)
Empty and perfect, shattered and worthless
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Dragging me further, forget to remember
Show me what's left, show me what's left
Take the colour from your eyes
I bleed for you, I bleed for you
Bring the broken back to life
We'll make it through, we'll make it through
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me
Never again, never again
Time will not take the life from me (He won’t go down with his depression or do what kills him)
(Describes him)
And after this world is out of reach
Sober and silent, faded and violent
Hopeless, I fight to fall between
Never surrender, out of the embers
Save a space inside for me (He wants her to never forget him and to hold a special place for him inside her heart)
