I think it's about how religion is a rather convenient comfort blanket for blocking out the bad things in the world (the arrows), but on the flipside, religion is frequently the cause of many of the world's ills (the arrows).
After a while, we get too complacent and refuse to be tricked anymore that the world is a great place and turn our comfort blanket into a powerful sword to force the world to be a better place.
This song is absolutely epic.
