Lyrics
Well you've got me working so hard lately
Expressing the intensity of the speaker's recent hard work.
Working my hands until they bleed
Highlighting the physical toll of the demanding work, suggesting sacrifice.
If I was twice the man I could be
The speaker contemplates personal improvement but acknowledges limitations.
I'd still be half of what you need
Even if the speaker were better, it might not fulfill the partner's needs.
Still you lead me and I follow
Despite challenges, the speaker is willing to follow the partner's lead.
Anything you ask you know I'll do
Commitment to fulfill any request from the partner.
This one act of consecration
The speaker sees their dedication as a sacred act, asking for reciprocation.
Is what I ask of you
Asking the partner for a similar level of commitment or consecration.
A promise carved in stone

Deeper than the sea
Comparing the promise's depth to the vastness of the sea.
Severed flesh and blood
Reference to sacrifice, offering something vital (flesh and blood).
Offer it to me

Well you just leave me nailed here
Feeling abandoned or stuck in a difficult situation.
Hanging like jesus on this cross

I'm just dying for your sins

And aiding to the cause

Severed flesh and bone

Offer it to me
Requesting another sacrifice from the partner.
Wrap my eyes in bandages
The speaker metaphorically blinds themselves, perhaps to avoid painful truths.
Confessions I see through
Confessions are seen through, suggesting a desire for transparency.
I get everything I want
Gaining satisfaction or control when the speaker receives a part of the partner.
When I get part of you

Its deeper than the sea
