Far be it from me to think I understand it as a whole, but I noticed that the song is a bit religion-haunted; there were a few lines that stood out to me.
Of course, there's the line on arguing about God.
Then the Mother Teresa reference.
Then, "can humans do what prophets say?"
The next line is very close to the standard, "if I should die before I wake" (note too that the following line talks about waking and sleeping)
And finally, "a million years before the Fall".
I'm not saying the song is all about Christianity. It seems that the artist is trying to figure out the meaning of life, and how he ought to live it, and his thoughts on religion keep factoring into that.
