Unwinding Cable Car- Anberlin- Alternative and Rock

Ok, i just got this song on my iPod, and i love it. It's like so, idk, calm and acoustic-ey. i really like acoustic songs. Hmm. And then theres As I Lay Dying.
Anyway, this is their song:
Unwinding Cable Car.
[v.1]
Emotive unstable you're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's the choices that make us who we are
Go your own way, even seasons have changed just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about
[chorus]
This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms,
I'll guard your heart
With quiet words
I'll lead you in

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
[v.2]
Backing away from the problem of pain you never had a home
You've been misguided, you're hiding in shadows for so very long
Don't you believe that you've been deceived that you're no better than...
The hair in your eyes, it never disguised what you're really thinking of

[chorus]
((Repeat))

You're so brilliant,
don't soon forget
You're so brilliant,
grace marked your heart
((Repeat))

You're so brilliant (This is the correlation)
Don't soon forget (Between salvation and love, don't drop your arms)
You're so brilliant (I'll guard your heart)
Grace marked your heart (With quiet words I'll lead you in and out of the dark)

La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la (Don't drop your arms)
La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la
This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in
This is the correlation of salvation and love (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart (La lalalala, la la la, la lala, la)
With quiet words I'll lead you in

Wow, sorry if that is confuzziling.

Anyway. I think that the song is talking about how we can be so confused and alone, but if we let God help us everything can change. We sometimes ignore the proof that God is there, like when they say 'So self-absorbed you've seemed to ignore the prayers that have already come about'. I think part of the problem is that we always think we can handle it on our own, when, lets take a reality check, we really can't. Lots of people try and tell us that we won't ever reach our dreams and we have no chance of reaching them, or that we'll never amount to anything. Really. Hmm. If no one tried to make their dreams come true then would we have blacks and whites living in peace? NO. Would women be able to have a say in things? NO. Would half of the actors, actresses, bands, and other entertainers be doing what they do? Probably not.
Anberlin also says that 'The hair in your eyes, it never disguised what you're really thinking of'. We can maybe hide our feelings to others, but not to ourselves, or God. He can help us in ways we never imagined, if we just ask Him. I think the chorus is saying that by finding God, we find a way to get unending love, and a way to live forever. He gaurds our hearts, yeah there might be unbearable pain in our lives, but if we ask for His help then he will gaurd us and help us get over it.
