This is a song about a notion held amongst all Christians: life in heaven after their death on earth. Now, Greg questions this notion:
"But what good is something if you can’t have it until you die?"
By this I think he's trying to make two points: Is it really worth it that you have to die first before you can have it? .The other point I think he's trying to make and this one is more subtle a one: How can you be so sure of this promise of eternal life in heaven if you can only experience it after you've died?
There's no way to proove there's a heaven. This idea is revealed in the pre-chorus:
"Drunk with the assertions they know they can’t defend..."
OK I could go more into this but I'm fucking lazy, but you get the idea. Talk amongst yourselves.
