When I first heard this song I was like "meh", but it grew on me, like the weird duck sound in the beginning and the backward lyrics coupled with the heavy but consistent bassline, I became hooked. :P

I think this song is about going through life and seeing stupid shit after stupid shit and getting of it and wanting something done about it. I feel like she's sick to fucking death of everyone complaining about their meaningless bs and that there MUST be someone out there that thinks like her and can be a leader and help get us out of this silly rut of a pity party. I also feel that is is supposed to be, overall, extremely empowering. It sounds like she's calling someone out on their bs and feeling confident about it, despite the shit she feels already, i.e. Saying that she's bleeding.

I LOOOOVE this song with all my song-loving ability, and that's why I chose it to do an analysis on for writing 121.

:B

In this song, I believe Amy is directing it towards people who have issues in their faith and what they believe in, due to the depressing things that happen in their lives. She's talking of people who trust in God but then when so many things in their lives crash down, they begin to turn away from him and curse his name. In the song, Amy is basically telling these people that they are not the only ones going through these conflicts; she's experienced these conflicts and she has kept her faith strong. In the third verse when she says: "Don't look down... ...you'll become their sacrifice," she's basically saying don't let Satan get a hold of you because she's "lost without you." In the chorus, she basically says that all our lives, we search for a greater power to trust in, but Amy knows that greater power she trusts in will never be Satan.

When you come crashing down, midflight.. Then your life has gone to crap, then you look for a back door out of life.. aka suicide... but dont, you are not the only one.. many of us are grieving, lost, and bleeding. we need heaven to shine a light down on us because we already feel as if we are in hell (out of god's light).. So why not find that appealing back door out of life, so afraid to open my eyes because I could not see a future. at least this is what it means to me.. I've been in a place where I walked thru that back door, and at my worst, I felt like the light was gone, where is my leader? I've been waiting, calling out, lost w/o that light, begging for it. did I fall out of favor? I don't deserve? maybe I'm wrong, but regardless of those around me "trying" to help, it was THIS song that turned me around and showed me that the only ones that would ever understand were those that have been there. Thx Amy.
