Awesome song! Scar Symmetry have huge potential so if you haven't already check out their album!
To me, this about religion. It sounds like a twisted version of Jesus' story where he is mocking those who believe in him. This is shown in the chorus. There are a few references in there that suggest this is Jesus' 'alternative' point of view. For example, in the first line he says about being an "outcast." Jesus was outcasted by the majority of society in his time. "Made an oracle against my will..." people saw the "saviour" in him...but apparently this wasn't intended. There's also a hint in "miraculous skills," "desert sands"etc. There's clues everywhere in there really.
I think it's a really clever idea and definitely encourages people to be their own "avatars" and have faith in yourself not in some god.
I absolutely agree with minus_zer0. One listen is all it takes to understand that this song is Jesus Christ speaking as though he's become disillusioned with his divinity and wants to communicate the message that the only strength that matters is the strength within each of us.

"I will place no gods higher than myself." That's the idea here, and it's as clear as glass.
