Got a little soul
The world is a cold, cold place to be
(If you are religious, you are shut out from the believers - the world is a cold place for non-believers)
Want a little warmth
but who's going to save a little warmth for me?
(Again, there is no love for Atheists - people are more discriminatory against Atheists than they are against believers of religions other than their own).
We know the fire awaits unbelievers
all the sinners, the same
(Hell awaits for Atheists, Agnostics and Sinners)
Girl you and I will die unbelievers
bound to the tracks of the train
(The "bound to the tracks of the train" is a metaphor for their pending doom for being non-believers. According to believers they - Ezra and his GF - are going to hell when they die).
If I am born again
I know that the world will disagree
(if he becomes a "born again christian" no none would believe him
Want a little grace
but who's going to say a little grace for me
(Again, as an Atheist, he is discriminated against - mostly by believers. They will say "grace" at meals for Jesus and other believers, but not for him.
Im not excited, but should i be?
is this the fate that half of the world has planned for me.
(At least half the world believes in Heaven/Hell/God and that means that at least that many people believe that he is going to burn in hell for being a non-believer.
I know I love you
and you love the sea
but holy water contains
a little drop, little drop for me?
(If there is anything at all real or spiritual in holy water - then wouldn't it work on non-believers as well as believers?
He is questioning in a coy way the existence of God. Poking fun at Holy Water, the Gates of Hell, Saying Grace, and more.
This is very obvious.
Ezra and his girl are Atheists.
