I've been down this road once or twice before
Through the open door
I come falling through it
There's a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the in between
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I know what I am and I'll always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turn from black to white
And I'd stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith, and destiny
I never did believe
My only God is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand.
Through the open door
I come falling through it
There's a sign post up ahead
Like a watershed
And it opens my eyes
Ways, for me to begin
To be born again
And knowing for the first time
Ways, all so differently
Shine for me to see
The better man that I am
I've been places in my head
Behind me worse than what's ahead
And on my path just like a dream
Takes me from the in between
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
I walk, I run, I burn out into you
You have always been my safe home
My whole world has moved on
I know what I am and I'll always be
Your reality, is better than I could dream
All my fears turn from black to white
And I'd stand and fight
The whole world for you
Faith, and destiny
I never did believe
My only God is love and
Faith, what I see in you
And I can hold it true
Like a weight in my hand.

He explains what the song is about... Pretty straight forward.
Still great though...
You see, I just recently moved back to California. I kinda grew up here but moved to Alabama in 7th grade and went through struggles to adapt until I finally did and made a lot of meaningful relationships with people there. IT was a small town, and I grew to like that kind of atmosphere. I have really close family out there, I have friends that I feel like I've known all my life and I was just really loving life.
Well, my mom moved us back here in the middle of my Junior year. I was sad but I didn't think that it was a big deal because I still had friends from before that I contacted a lot while I was in Alabama, so I wasn't too concerned. WEll, I moved out here and started school, and everything just overwhelmed me. The school is literally 5 times bigger than my old, small school. People that I knew from when I lived here before changed a lot (which is understandable given the time period) and most of them dont even remember who I was. My friends out here are okay but I just dont feel close to them anymore. I think that its just because in the time that I was in Alabama, I matured a lot and my old friends from California hadn't. School is harder and my relationships with my teachers aren't as close as they were with my teachers in Alabama. I have my dad's side of the family out here, but they just seem like strangers. I definately do not feel as close to them as I do with my mom's side of the family in Alabama. ITs just a mess, and I am homesick and depressed and I don't like being like that. Im even considering moving back...
How that relates to the song is that I interpret it as being around people that you really love. Im around my mom and sister, but sometime, only having you "immediate" family is not quite enough. It means a lot to me to have other friends and family around you as well. ITs hard switching high schools when your in the middle of your junior year.
Basically, this song is a tribute to those people that you miss and love. People that make you feel like you ARE in your 'Safe Home'. This song just makes me feel like Im back in that small town atmosphere again and just back to the life I used to have. IT reminds me of a simpler state of mind I was in and it makes me happy when I listen to this song. So thats my interpretation...
Before you consider backlashing and looking further in to something's meaning than need be, consider the part in the lyrics of this AWESOME song where the vocalist sings "My only God is Love". You're an eternal optimist (or incredibly short-sighted) if you truly believe that this is referring to a Jewish/Christian/Islamic God of Abraham. All that means is that if there's one thing he follows and lives by, is addicted to, or idolizes, it's Love. That addictive, more-harm-than-good emotion that can't be explained or cured.
anyway, unless it's the actual intent of the CREATOR of the song, all of our own interpretations are no more truer than the songs writer. unless our own interpretations walk side by side with that of the authors meaning behind the creation of the song, we hold nothing but heretical interpretations. it's like using the writings of bhodivara or zoar or the old & new testament writers, etc and putting a whole different meaning behind them that the author didn't intend. using them for a whole different purpose the writers never sactioned.
interpret songs as you wish, but they're nothing but imaginations until the author confirms or denies them.
Also, it could be about moving on from the death of a loved one and the memory/spirit of them is stronger than the physical being.
Eh, either way, a great song. Crap video though, haha.
