Fault line conveys the message of the author's thanks to those who were there for him and that he'll be there for them. The author (Jake Luhrs) tells the listener that they're not alone in their struggles, and that he'll stand by their side. But on a more personal note, Jake seems to say that he only made it because of the listener, or those who were there for him. I've been handed my life by you, the least I can do is listen." But Jake doesn't want to have to stand by people or people to have to stand by him. Not that he means it in a mean sense, but he tells us that we have to rise on our own to defeat our inner demons and conquer our struggles. "Don't call me your hero." Jake doesn't want others to repeat his own mistakes or carry the burden he does. He then puts himself in a place to take our pain from us. "I'm absorbing the impact of the young at heart." Jake continues on with the final chorus, "We all hurt. We all need. We all cry, we all bleed. We have hope." to sympathize and give a message of hope.
