I think this is a plea to God for help…he feels that he’s don’t wrong and his life isn’t turning out the way he hoped….he’s not the person he wants to be and he wants help…theres kind of a desperate feel to this song. He’s kind of making a statement about life…he wants to be remembered for being a good man. This song is awesome! Brandon’s lyric ability is amazing, go the killers!! What are others opinions on this?
Reading this, I totally agree.
It fits the redemption factor of the song, it's about a guy who's live a hard life of pain and regret. He's made bad decisions and just wants to stand up and let go, move on and do something actually 'good' in his life.

He's desperate to change his life so much that (even though he might really believe) he's willing to seek help from something higher then himself (god?)

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
If I can't find anyone else to help? can you?
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
I want to drop all the horrible things that have happened, you can't understand it.. I want to be known for the good I've struggled with.
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
He feels as though he has caused so much trouble and ache that he feels it's far too much.
I always heard the affection part sounded like reflection, if i'm wrong i'm wrong but it kind've made sense, either way. It's like he doesn't know who or what he is, he can't feel the same all the time, he wants direction to a good life that wown't conflict with his past.
I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier
He's got the soul to change to do something, but he lacks the drive/ability to do something about it and he needs help.
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
(Time, truth and hearts)
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
This is his last chance, if he can hold on, he can win the battle and feel better after it all.
