Cadence Lyrics

The line in Cadence has me intrigued, you say "Paul said that you stifle him again and again" -- what does that line mean? My brother Paul and I both went to the University of Central Florida together (and incidentally played rugby side by side for UCF). He majored in Psychology and I in Philosophy. To save money we rented a house with some friends in Orlando and me and Paul shared a room. Late at night we would have theological conversations ranging from the omnipotence of God to pre-destination. I formulated the line because the whole song is central to the holy spirit (hence; "the closer I come to you (the holy spirit), the closer I am to finding God), and one of the insolvable equations of God was the complex workings of holy spirit, and his involvement with mankind, and that my friend is where the line was created.
