I think it is a mixture of things. I can see how I tis talking maybe about the music industry, and song writing, but I think there's more. Too me this song sounds like he is talking to God also (I belive Chris has said he is a Christian). Like he is thanking God and is also being persecuted as a Christian.
And with stones
They took their aim
And I knew I would die at their hands
For I was crowned a heretic to be loathed and set fire
And laid upon a funeral pyre
And as I cast my eyes to the sky I felt your touch
So gentle and so soothing that I knew I had been saved
