I've heard alot of arguing over this song, some saying it's pro-religion/Christianity and is to balance out TTBTR and some it goes along with TTBTR as a warning against following a belief system set up by others.
Personally I'm onclined to the more pro-religious part of that argument purely because that's the way the lyrics lead, but personally I think it's actually about a relatiionship or friendship in which one partner feels isolated by the other or betrayed and the religious references are just metaphors for the feelings of betrayel eg, the Judas reference and the 'In my heart I still hope you will open the door' bit.
But that's just my take, whatever anyone else thinks is good too.
I think the song is written fro the perspective of God or Jesus
the part where it says "why have you waited so long to embrace me my dear" and "Release me from this cross after all these years
Call my name and help me with this weight"
i really think it's pro religion from the point of view of Jesus... =]
