The "you" of the line, "...to let me know you're here" is Jesus, & the singer/writer's feeling disconnected from Him cuz of all the shit he sees & experiences in the world around him. So he's calling out for any angels to help lead him (back) to that source of Life~~to help him BELIEVE! If he can't believe to see the Love of the Lord in this often seemingly God (or Love)-forsaken world, he'd just faint from the thirst for that Love!

This is a song about the irony of the society that we've become and calling on something higher to save us from it all. Also, just asking why things have become so messed up.

This song is talking about how we are kinda spoiled in a sense and how we take things for granit. He is expressing how he feels that the world is almost falling apart and we are losing track of what is important in life.

well, i lost my father just a short while ago. and of course things in ur mind change when you lose somebody really close to you. but for me, this song was sorta about that. hes searching for for hope when all seems to be lost. hes searching for a sign that some loved one is okay. "i want a reason for why things are supposed to be".... i dunno. that could be stupid but...i guess what makes a song nice is that we all have our own interpretations and there is no right answer. ... alright...

It's about how life needs some support from.. well.. heaven. I am not religious but I still like the song. I like the part "I won't give up, if you don't give up." A girl in my religion class played this song and related it to God or whatever and that line was important. It's a good song, no matter what you believe. It's about hanging in there and realizing that life is gonna suck but just to hold youself up and find support.

If you're still around, dear MeShell...I pray your hubby's with you now!! ~~but If, for reasons perhaps beyond our immediate comprehension, he's not, I'm hoping you'll find the Comfort & the Peace that passes understanding that comes from sincerely calling all angels......!!!

my favorite sentence ever spoken by train, "In a world where what we want is only what we want until it's ours," because it is entirely true especially in my case :8. by the way, MeShell, that is a nice comment I was almost crying myself ;0
