There is no clear meaning to this song due to the fact the band wants to give us the chance to figure it out ourselves. You can interpret this song to whatever you want.
Judging from the video and lyrics it talks about how he (the band, I guess) is scared to go to hell and is trying to be good. But...
[Verse 1]
I've been stumbling around between the lines of red and blue
I was coloring thoughts for the sake of finding truth
Was following rules, counting all of my good deeds, oh
Living in fear, Hell at my feet, Heaven is out of reach
[Pre-Chorus]
And there's a fire that I once laid
There's a fire but no fire brigade
[Chorus]
Help our souls tonight
We are losing, losing this fight
Help our souls tonight
Is there no one on our side
Who's gonna help our souls tonight?
No one here to
Help our souls tonight
It's on me, it's on you
To survive
[Verse 2]
And with the rising sun
I arose from ash and dust
I, I finally saw the world for what it was
The good and bad, they were part of one
No matter how hard I tried to run
It's always darkest before the dawn
Believe it cause you know it's inside you
[Pre-Chorus]
Just fire
Not the fire brigade
[Chorus]
Help our souls tonight
We are losing, losing this fight
Help our souls tonight
There is no one on our side
Who's gonna help our souls tonight?
No one here to
Help our souls tonight
Trust me, trust me
We’ll be alright
[Verse 3]
Oh we're burning up inside
With these questions on our minds
It's a quest for the heart
Gotta let go, restart
Looking who to blame
Who to trust in this game
The victims shall remain
As long as we deny our reign
The power that we seek
In our hands, in our feet
This song, it's a melody
A four part remedy
So don't be afraid
Cause there's nothing to fear
Don't let me hear you say
Don't let me hear who's gonna...
[Chorus]
Help our souls tonight
We are losing, losing this fight
Help our souls tonight
There is no one on our side
Who's gonna help our souls tonight?
No one here to
Help our souls tonight
Trust me, trust me
We’ll be alright
[Outro]
(Help our souls)
(Who’s gonna help our souls?)
(Who’s gonna help our souls?)
