This song is about wanting to cling onto beliefs beyond all reason and common sense. Its about wanting to stay in a philosophical safe zone, where your beliefs aren't challenged and everyone lets knowledge regress into a state of ignorance.
"as you crawl back to your womblike existence in the night."
That lyric was the give away, to me.
"but you hear those heavy footsteps"
I think the footsteps in this song represent encroaching reason and the marginalizing of religion and its adherents.
