I like you guy's interpretation of the song, but when I read the lyrics I had something else in mind.
I get the impression that what he is trying to say is that, he wants to reject the idea of a God, that there isn't a hell, and that there isn't a Heaven, but there is something that always reminds him that there is a possiblitie. The beginning reminds me of someone in an ambulance on the border line of life and death, or maybe that person had died, but was brought back to life, and they see that there is a life beyond our world. And this scares the man and he tries to believe that everything he had seen was fake because it means he would have to completely change his beliefs.
He tries to so hard to reject the idea, but it keeps haunting him to the point to where he can't sleep.
And he see's that the problem is that it's not because he isn't living wiht God, but because God won't leave him.
In the beginning, on the ambulance there is an upside down cross, on the front of the ambulance it says BMTH666, but at the end of the video it replaces the T it "IT" with a right side up cross, representing a new perspective. I also got part of this idea from seeing him float through the clouds, it made me think of Heaven. And the Album of the title also influenced my interpretation of the song, "There is a Hell believe me I've seen it, there is a Heaven lets keep it a secret."
I'm sure they had no intention for this to be seen as a religious song, but it's just my interpretation.
I wouldn't say they never intended for this to be a religious song; after all, they have a song called "Pray for Plagues," which is an obvious Exodus allusion. I think something still has to be said for all the blood in the video, especially the picture where Oli is standing in a room with blood all over the walls and floor, but I think you're definitely correct that the song has an enormous religious element to it. It adds a whole new layer of meaning. Videos like this are just as brilliant as "good" poetry that people have to...
