1st of all,this is the best song ever!!!I think the song is about the unhappy condition of a genious mind, a mind that can love more than others, but can't find his mach in this world, because noone could get so high to his level of inteligence and perception of life, of feelings.The author needs to escape this world that caused him so much pain, and the only person who keeps him here is his girl.We find lots of purifying symbols, like the fire, 4 example(a flickering flame, gates of fire...)The author lives in the dark, the darkness of his soul, and love is ment to light that dark(a flickering flame so srerne devours the night so we could see the fear we hold on to so strong)Once he falls inlove, he can't be saved anymore.We can see that he's tempted to denie the love, because he thinks that love is pain, is a bittersweet mixture of joy and sorrow,the heartless turned into a pupet of destiniy due to this feeling.This song is a strugle between the rational and the heart.
P.S.:There's nothing religious here, And "the gods" are a metaphore for love,he wants to hide from this heartbrakin' feeling, not from some god.
