While I know that DH is a Christian metal group, there is a real secular meaning here as well, that so many people overlook. I'm not a Christian, but I absolutely love DH because of the fact that most of their music can be both gospel and secular, which makes it a little something for everybody. So heres my $0.02:
Everyone is quick to self-serve and judge others on preconceived notions derived from stereotypes and stigmas, that we overlook the base humanity of people. One of the largest problems we face in today's society, all around the world is the "I'm gonna look out for #1" mentality. It's a dark and lonely way to love your life, and it will never get you anywhere positive. But yet, we often rely on and expect others to help us in our times of need. Most times, somebody will step up and help out, hence the "thread of pinhole light," but overall, without the help of others and the support of those around us, none of us would make it out of our teenage years. So all of that self-serving, self-righteous behavior hangs on the hook of the support you've had in your life. And all you have to do to enlighten your life is open up to the reality that humans are social creatures and we all rely on one another to survive and to truly live.
