i think this song is about someone who is a christian, and believes in god, and was strong in the faith, but without realizing it has fallen away. the lines about "Last week saw me living for nothing but deadlines" talks about how he let everything else in his life take center stage, and shoved god to the back of his mind, as in "You've been talking in your sleep about a dream". that's when he 'awakens' or realizes that this isn't the life god wants for him. so he wants to to wake up kicking and screaming", get back to worshiping god to the fullest instead of just at the bare minimum. also, i think when he awakens, he can finally see the world god made, and how he is a part of it. "Here we are now with falling sky and the rain" meaning, i think, that he is part of it all, part of god's plan, and he needs to kick it into gear.
