This song speaks from another person's battles with life. About going through extreme situations that hold them back from being the person they are meant to be. Can be taken in many different ways...
lyrics
I’m reaching out for that someone to guide me through this compulsion—I found some more chaos today—can you help me out in some damn way?—I wish I knew what I could be—can you foresee my destiny?—please tell me—can you fly down from the sky, and force out all the weakness that’s killing me, that’s making me fall down?—can you ever tell me why, why I can’t let all my feelings free, free from all these chains?—these chains—I watched the days go by too fast, and I did nothing to make them last—so I guess this is the end?—I pray for it to be pretend, and re-begin-- can you fly down from the sky, and force out all the weakness that’s killing me, that’s making me fall down?—can you ever tell me why, why I can’t let all my feelings free, free from all these chains?—where has time gone?—I have only just begun—been here too long, I just need to see the sun—where has time gone?—I just need to breathe again—where has time gone?-- can you fly down from the sky, and force out all the weakness that’s killing me, that’s making me fall down?—can you ever tell me why, why I can’t let all my feelings free, free from all these chains?—these chains that I made on my own
