i read from other posts in the other threads about this band being a Christian band and having songs related to that topic. I'm doubtful whether they are really Christian, but i think this song could be related to that topic too. The Love ( i dunno why it was written in caps in the lyrics ) probably refers to love from God. The speaking of mind and forcing of words could probably refer to the guilt he feels when he doesn't do what is considered right in Christianity. And Christianity has it's 'rules' if u wanna call it that, so that's what he means by 'u tell me how to live'. And he goes 'but it's my life' when he rejects all of that, maybe being unable to continue a Christian life.
Open arms is the open arms of God, always willing to accept you as long as u accept him. He's been there many times before and got lost in the sense that he tries to going back to Christianity and leading a right life but has failed many times, and once again he shows rejection to it all and wants to break from the grip. The chorus then shows his rejection and maybe resentment. The last part also.
