Well, I don't know what the song was actually written about. But personally the feeling I got when I listened to this song for the first time, is like. This man is in love with this woman. But this woman is keeping her distance, she's not loving him the way he wants her to love him(if that makes any sense). And the chorus is basically him justifying or describing her. On how she's so cold with him, maybe because she had to be that way to protect herself.
'Will you hold the line?When every one of them is giving up or giving in, tell me In this house of mine?'. (He's saying like with all of the men that have tried to break your wall, will you let me in? will you make an exception for me?)
''Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me will the stars align? will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin? Will it? Cause this house of mine stands strong'' ( He's saying on how she keeps making him prove that he's worth it. He's asking her on when will it end that endless battle and when he says; 'this house of mine stands strong' , like saying that he's not going to give her up.
‘’That's the price you pay, leave behind your heartache, cast away. just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey’’. ( He’s explaining why she is like that, she leave ‘feelings’ on second term, to stay focus on things that won’t hurt her (like usually love does). And that she prefers to be selfish and rather be the one to hurt him, before he hurts her.)
‘’And you're standing on the edge, face up 'cause you're a Natural. A beating heart of stone, you gotta be so cold to make it in this world . Yeah, you're a natural. Living your life cutthroat, You gotta be so cold Yeah, you're a natural. ‘’( He’s saying on how she has that wall that won’t let anybody in, maybe because she’s scared to get hurt)
‘’Will somebody let me see the light within the dark trees' shadows and What's happenin'?
Lookin' through the glass find the wrong within the past knowin'
We are the youth
Call out to the beast, not a word without the peace, facing
A bit of the truth, the truth’’ (He’s asking on when will it end, when will she let go of the past and start living in the present with him)
‘’Deep inside me, I'm fading to black, I'm fading
Took an oath by the blood of my hand, won't break it
I can taste it, the end is upon us, I swear
Gonna make it
I'm gonna make it’’ ( He’s saying on how this situation is making him miserable, but that he’s determined to be with her)
This is my interpretation of this song. Maybe it has nothing to with it, maybe I’m relating with a similar personal situation. And this is the way that this lyrics spoke to me because I felt like I’m relating to this situation.
