This song is an allegory of his unstable faith and his inability to fully put his trust in God. Possibly over a seven year period?
"Test my arms, kick like crazy
And Ive been trying way to long"
This briefly suggests the test that he's had to endure in his life and how he feels it is God administering this test. Then,
"I would find a way without you
(tell him his eyes see too clear),"
conveys his trying to do things without God, and totally losing his faith. However, "...his eyes too clear," lets you know that his faith is always haunting him, pulling him back.
He feels as if he's being cheated, for one, which is why he can't totally trust God.
"seven years you assured me
that Id be fine if I complied,"
suggests this. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not sure" feeds right into his inability to trust God or not due to the circumstances that have come to pass.
Finally, the last two lines are a dead give away to my idea that this is about his faith. They tell the listener that he feels remorse for not totally trusting God and also blaming him for the negatives that have occured in his life. He is begging for mercy.
Methinks.
Truly amazing song, even though I'm not Christian. I missed out on "that mistake was gold," but that's pretty obvious, going by my analysis of the song. Good screams and good melody.
