The song has multiple meanings. Springsteen explained on Storytellers that he wrote it to have multiple religious meanings. It also tells the story of 9/11 in the eyes of a firefighter on that day. He tells about how the firefighters climbed dozens of stories to try to get up to the fire. Can't see nothin' in front of me,Can't see nothin' coming up behind ...I make my way through this darkness,I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me.Lost track of how far I've goneHow far I've gone, how high I've climbed ...On my back's a 60-pound stoneOn my shoulder a half mile of line
