Intervention

This song is about drug addiction and the battle to get clean.

"When they say they're cutting off the phone, I tell them you're not home." eventually addicts will have to face struggles such as unpaid bills.

"No place to hide, You were fighting as a soldier on their side, You're still a soldier in your mind, Though nothing's on the line." theres no where to go but down. You are a soldier in your own mind fighting to keep up the addiction. there is nothing on the line because you can not get any lower

"You say it's money that we need, As if we were only mouths to feed,"

struggling for money to further feed the addiction, forgetting about their family and any other responsibilities

"I know no matter what you say There are some debts you'll never pay." the money borrowed from loved ones to pay for drugs is a debt that can never truly be paid back

"You take what they give you And you keep it inside." you take money from loved ones but do not get help. you keep the addcition close to you. "Every spark of friendship and love Will die without a home." you lose everyone that ever meant anything to you because they can not tolerate the pain any longer

"Hear the solider groan, "We'll go at it alone" " The voice inside will continue this cycle alone to keep up with the addciton, pushing away all family and friends, the drugs are more important.

"Walking with your head in a sling" your body is there but your mind is burried deep somewhere else, the drugs overpower you

"Working for the Church While my family dies, Your little baby sister's Going to lose her mind"

The church is the cycle you are going through of getting money and paying for drugs in your mind this is normal, but on the outside your family and your sister are dying over this.

"I can taste your fear, It's going to lift you up and take you out of here, And the bone shall never heal, I care not if you kneel."

The fear is the only thing that will break this. The fear will keep you away, but you will never be the same, you can kneel and beg, but the fear is the only thing that will keep you away from this life.

"We can't find you now, But they're going to get their money back somehow, And when you finally disappear We'll just say you were never here."

no one will want to remember you when you are gone. the money they gave you isnt the problem anyomore. you have completely lost yourself, and the memories of you are too painful, its easier to pretend you were never there.

"Been working for the church While your life falls apart, Singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart, Every spark of friendship and love Will die without a home."

Your life is falling apart while you continue to get deeper into this cycle of drugs. You sing but every step you take you are in fear. all of your close friendships and loves have died
