To me this song means so much. I struggled with depression and anxiety for 6 years, from ages 11 till 17 . I lost many friends, situations didn't work out, brutal teasing, and I felt very alone. I still have days where my anxiety or sad thoughts will come, but it's much easier for me to use my faith in God to combat it. The overall song is about that anger and envy feelings you get when God finally comes to help, but you wonder why it too so many years. Never realing the struggles you go through end up making your faith get stronger. Just like what Jesus did and took all the sins for us on the cross. Like the line "Where the West was all but won." When Jesus died, his hands on the cross represent his saving us and how far the East is from the West, his scarred hands.The girl in the 2nd verse represents the loved ones lost or gone from your life during this time. The ones who got you and could have helped you through this. It's actually a hope filled song, wrapped up in the feelings of anger at wanting God's grace and mercy sooner. Because the sinner was FOUND. He's just human and wanted it sooner.
