looking at the lyrics, and the band's religion, they wrote it to mean God,
if you know catholic teachings it makes sense,
but then you watch the music video and it's her dad
and I think that's symbolic, in the video they use the girl's dad to symbolize the "almighty father", god
I was brought up catholic, I don't believe in it anymore,
but this song has never gotten better or worse because of that.
the message of hope and redemption is too strong to make me think any less of it because I don't believe in that religion,
hope is real, love is real, and they are truly higher powers that I believe in and live by
to me, love and hope wrapped their arms around her and brought on an epiphany
