The Dangerous Summer – Work in Progress

• 0
  My Interpretation:I see this song is about how the artist notices how much he is dealing with, the problems he is facing, and how much of a mess he is(all of this may just be depression); and he just can't do it. He is not capable with going through all of this alone, he'll end up not doing anything. "take my hands and keep them busy again"
  being that i've been raised with a christian background, I think he is addressing the Almighty, turning to God for help, because he can't deal with his mess alone. He's a work in progress and is relying on God to help him get out of it.

  Song Meaning:Saw them play this song yesterday, and they mentioned it was about the Mountain Goats. Not sure how or where to take that.

  General Comment:Tell them all that I’m a work in progress. Pour it out and I will stay out of the way. Fill it up, for what it’s worth I’m harmless. Cut me down and I will live with what I take. I’m not saving You for myself. I want to see You and I want to say; “You’re what’s keeping me warm. You’re what’s keeping me safe.”
  
  Take my hands and keep the busy again I think I’m losing my whole belief system. I get a lot of problems in my head sometimes and I keep on forgetting. So take my hands and keep them busy again.
  
  Save me a place inside the quiet. I know hate because I see it in everyone around; and lately I’ve been losing truth. Faith, I have been losing too.
  
  Take it out on all your constant losses. Know it’s only just a miracle to face. Even death can bring a man to life when he sits right up and still nothing tastes the same.
