| Hate to break it to ya guys, but they arent a christian band, like farseer said they can be christian and not a christian band. I know these guys personally and have heard that question asked to them a bunch of times, and the answer has always been no. Moving on it doesnt really matter, because they are one of the most talented bands out there. Rock on! | |

| To me, this song has biblical and Christian intonations. The woman singing is looking to be saved from her life of "death," or sin rather. The first verse refers to her own attempts to stop the pain of her own sinful life and the fact that it just caused more pain. So it seems she turned to God and now, she's looking to Him as a tourniquet, which is a device to stop bleeding, to prevent her from the self destruction from a sinful life. The "crimson regret and betrayal" refer to the action of sin. In other words, she feels she betrayed God with her sin and she regrets it. She also asks God whether she is too lost to be saved, and whether He remembers her, because she's been away from Him for so long. The last verse which refers to death and suicide may refer to the metaphorical "dying to the world" when a Christian decides to commit their life to God. In short, "Tourniquet" is a song about a woman seeking the Salvation of Christ to deliver her from sin and death. This, of course, is my take on it; this is what the song means TO ME. You're free to disagree, but this is what I think, anyway. | |

| i dont know, i agree with everyone in little bits. see the first two lines, suggest she has commited suicide..trying to kill the pain but only brought more. depressed people try suicide as a way out of pain. im sure as they are dying, they ask for forgiveness, they know they have done something wrong. so i agree mostly with michealdark | |
