Isakov has a way of stringing words together that shouldn't make sense, but somehow the sentiment is still successfully expressed. "I'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home" by itself hardly means anything, but in the song, you can gather that he means he's tired and he wants to belong somewhere.
For me personally, I think this song is about realizing that we don't deserve anything good, but because of God's grace, there is still good to be found in our existence. Good friendship gives second chances. My relationship with God is unlike any other relationship I have, because I can't hide anything from him, so he sees every ounce of dark that I have. Yet, he continues to reach out to me and love me. Long story short, I think this song is about being given grace- in human relationships, too.
He's a unique songwriter, and one of the best around at the moment. At least I think so.

@bluecassette I appreciate your interpretation. As a devout Catholic I, too, found the connection with grace and forgiveness. Thanks.
