Hey Silverbean22, I think you're getting somewhere with that. I do think it has something to do with wanting to escape from the hell that life can be (Trailer Park), and wanting to be his own savior, saving himself from his unhappy existence (Jesus). Trailer Park Jesus. Makes sense right?
That last stanza does have a sense of regret to it... I think that the "holes" are his fantasies of escape... and "digging so deep he lost sight of his world" means that he became so enraptured in fantasy that he almost forgot about reality. I guess he regrets giving up what life he had because he didnt like it... as though feeling bad because he had taken it all for granted.
So in the end, is he saying that a bad existence may be preferable to none?
These are just theories, but if it makes sense to you just say so....
