In a sense, there is a specific order that the first few songs follow. It follows Time Is Running Out on the album which was the idea of Government consipiracy and the end of the world. Sing for Absolution is taken from a dying perspective. So much of humankind lost to what has happened, and it's some sort of repent for what we have caused. It's also half of the dreaming of the days that were, before all of it happened. It's almost as if he wishes to be forgiven for the contribution as if he were speaking for all of mankind.
I think it is quite blantant what it means.
