This song is awesome, but I not sure what it means. Perhaps the search for religion (or spirituality, faith, whatever you want to call it)? I kinda get that from the talk of visions and curses and prayers, coupled with the lines "you don’t believe what you believe" and "you want the want". "You want the want" meaning the singer is seeking something maybe? And "you don’t believe what you believe" giving me the impression of someone who has been raised in a particular faith, but doesn't really believe, just sort of goes along without questioning because that's what they're used to. So maybe it's the search for something they can actually truely believe. "The fickle crowd has gone to sleep / you’re ready now to take the leap" makes me think "the fickle crowd" are 'believers' who don't believe, maybe go to church (or some other place of worship), but don't really pay much attention (they've "gone to sleep", aren't searching for what they're missing from the whole thing)? It seems the singer is wanting to go from being a non-believing believer to being a believing believer "you’re ready now to take the leap".
But yeah, that's all kinda speculation, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to have someone tell me I'd got it wrong, so... ^^;
I don't really have any clue what all the "poison word" stuff is about.
