I'd say the guy is admitting he needs something. I'm kinda there myself. Perhaps he's been without faith in a higher power and is suddenly realizing that life's bland without believing in something. He's having problems. Life's getting him down. He hurts. And he's singing about all of that. Just because the song says 'god' doesn't necessarily mean JUST God, though. Maybe he needs a purpose and direction.
