This is an amazing song of strong religious importance. It seems he's expressing his frustration and disappointment about mainstream religion and offering a glimpse into his spirituality. I love the line that says God is "just like gravity, I said. It's not a product of my head. It doesn't speak but nonetheless demands attention." I also like his addition of the mystical belief that our ego convinces that we are passengers on the ride of life. However, in actuality, instead of us experiencing God, the purpose of the universe is to be God's vehicle for experience ("I'm not a passenger, I am the ride").
