I don't think I agree with lostinadyingworld...a tourniquet is something that stops bleeding from a large wound, like a bandage. I think the song is begging to be saved from death rather than inviting death...they want a metaphorical tourniquet to stop their pain and bleeding and bring them salvation...

lilpunk8267. this song talks all about the salvation of Jesus Christ. that means that she prayed a prayer that accepted Jesus as her savior, understanding that he died on the cross to pay for the ENTIRE world's sins, and that she will become reborn, a new person, a follower of Christ. because God is completely holy, sin separates us from him forever. But he sent his only son to die (Knowing full well that he would rise from the dead) to pay for the sins of the world. This song is saying how she accepted salvation or got 'saved', but...

How about a compromise? it's about commiting suicide, changing your mind, not dying, and changing your life.

i agree with whoami13 though off the record...Lasorlight10, Amy Lee doesn't strike me as a religious person. though if you can find proof from her that this is about Jesus, I'll believe you. but as of what i know, she's not religious...at least not enough to write a song for it.
