Glen explains that this song is about that feeling whereby you know everything is wrong, completely. But one day you kind of see through that, and realise "yeah it's all wrong now - but you know, it'll all be alright in the end.."
It's about making peace with your demons.
There's also a few lines relating to the criticism the band get at times from the media :
"People all get ready
'Cos we're breaking down the band
Rewrite what's gone already
And see it through with wiser hands
And what has gone between us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not"
That verse deals with the changes to the band's sound and attitude. That now they're doing things the way they want to do them, and that they have learnt from the mistakes of the past.
Alternatively, in the past Glen has explained that he wrote this song after picking up The Old Testament in a hotel room, and reading through it. He got to the Book of Luke and though that Luke was the coolest of the disciples. Whilst everyone was fawning over Jesus, Luke was the one who'd be like "Yeah, that Jesus....he was alright like.....".
Glen also explained that when Jesus stormed the Temple, he has more in common with a Michael Collins or Ché Guevara sort of figure, a revolutionary, far removed from a supposed "perfect being".
