This song is filled with nothing but metaphors.
I think it all depends on how your feeling when you hear the song.
At first, I thought it was about a suicide.
But after listening to it a couple times, I think its about falling in love.
" Take a breath, take it deep.
calm yourself, he says to me
if you play, you play for keeps,
take a gun and count to three
Say a prayer, to yourself
Close your eyes, sometimes it helps."
i see that as taking the chance of falling deeply in love and giving your all and knowing that the end result will be devastating and ultimately life changing.
Thus the:
"You can see my heart beating-you can see it through my chest.
Im terrified, but im not leaving,
know that i must pass this test
So just pull the trigger."
