Looking for Water Lyrics

I believe this song is David talking about religion. How?

When he mentions "I lost God in a New York minute", made me realize, he's looking for something to save his life (looking for water), and when he says

I can't live in this cage, I can't eat this candy The edge of the earth to the spin in my head The look in your eyes and never means never The dawn's early light, baby, dark is forever",

I believe that's him saying that he can't keep on living without a firm belief in something, because hes going to live a terrible life after.

I don't know, that's just what i thought about the song.
