This song is about a persons inner demons, you're damned if you bring them to light by the people around you but it's also the only way to move forward in life.
'looking for heaven, for the devil in me.
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me\'.
Represents this moment of cutting out the graceless heart, burying the horse and shaking the devil off your back. Of deciding that the future is worth more than saving face or pretending that everything is okay. For me personally it perfectly encapsulates how I feel (i should say felt but I'm still dealing) about all my regrets, mistakes and miseries of the past.
