I was not even remotely thinking about the "Judas gospel" or any non-Canonic texts.
First, like DMBLISS noted, DM songs are exceptionally rich because their level of meaning happens on many planes at once. I never read "Breathe" in the way of a generic relationship, but now you showed me it works fine this way as well.
The song is a deep human reflection. My evaluation wished simply to underline the complex struggle within Judas (as with every human being), which is treated nonetheless as a friend by Jesus, even when he betrays.
Basically, Judas and Peter fall in a similar way (although Judas' betrayal is worse), but Peter manages to repent and trust in mercy and forgiveness, while Judas, furtherly discouraged by the priests, embraces desperation.
Despite interpolarity's 'narrow' reading, no one can assume for certain a person's final judgement (including Judas).
On this topic, which is very rich, there are many songs which probably people have never read in their religious aspects, like "It's no Good", "Barrel Of A Gun", "Surrender", "Nothing's Impossible", and above all "Never Let Me Down Again".
Ultimately, DMBLISS is absolutely right, since DM songs involving a religious reflection are always applicable to a concrete situation of a human relationship. We are called to live as we believe, and live for love.
