Weathered

This seems to pertain to the endurance of hardship; whether it be despair, the insignificance of one's life, or stagnation. The chorus and song title both allude to exposure to external elements and influences which alter a person. Just as a rock is weathered and metals rusted, the human specimen is also changed due to experience. Yet the admission of his vulnerability and jaded state is obvious; moments indicative of hope are embedded as well ("But I choose to win. So I choose to fight.").

There are some possible religious/spiritual references, including the following: "The sun shines and I can't avoid the light" - Light is indicative of an awareness of reality; is also synonymous with spiritual illumination. "The day reminds me of you" - Possibly a reference to Jesus Christ. "The earth is a voice; Speaking to you" - This excerpt is conveying a message that affirms that the earth itself is a messenger; upholding its own law with or without the assent of man. "Take all this pride, and leave it behind" - In reference to pride in the sense of vanity or self-conceit; many Christian's condemn it, claiming it causes one to become spiritually "zombified." "Believe what you will. That is your right" - A reference to free will.
