I think the whole album has some sort of concept pertaining to Jon's own life using biblical references. If you notice with Temptation, he's speaking about looking for love, but only finding evil temptations, much as Eve was tempted by the snake to eat the apple. Three Doors is a bit harder to interpret, maybe a statement of confusion in that he's trying to reach the truth about religion or God, but there are so many "doors" that he doesn't know which one is right or wrong. This song, The Nile's Edge, is about Jon's father abandoning him, and saying that it left him alone or empty or feeling like a part of himself was missing because of it.
