"Prison gates won�t open up for me
On these hands and knees I�m crawlin�
Oh, I reach for you"
Talking about reaching for God.
"Well I�m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can�t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I�m callin�
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I�m fallin�"
Asking for God to make a change in his life. The iron bars could be a metaphor for sin or drug addiction that is afflicting his life.
"Show me what it�s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I�ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I�ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it�s worth saving me"
Admitting sin and wanting repentance, saying that he can lead a better life.
"Heaven�s gates won�t open up for me
With these broken wings I�m fallin�
And all I see is you
These city walls ain�t got no love for me
I�m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I�m callin�
And all I need from you
Hurry I�m fallin�"
Admitting sin and and "all I see is you", showing the path that is wanted is a path contrary to his current or previous life. "I�m on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you" Pleading with God that his life of sin is killing him, possibly literally. Maybe a struggle with drugs.
"Show me what it�s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I�ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I�ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it�s worth saving me
Hurry I�m fallin�"
"Say it if it�s worth saving me" - Asking for a response from God. Either literally through a change in his life that changes his affliction, or for God to come into his life and change his heart from the inside out.
from a Christian perspective, but that is how I take this song. Take care and God Bless.
