this song means so many things
"The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby "
I believe Jenny is saying that people are living for themselves. People are comforted by the fact that they arent living to impress anybody but themselves.
"And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
And I'm not my perspective
Or the lies I'll tell you every time "
Jenny could be saying to a person is defined by their perspective, but she lies about her perspective so the way she is seen is inaccurate.
Also, obviously from the titel, she is saying there is an absence of god. "And Mike I'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again "
she is asking mike to help her become a good person as opposed to asking god.
