Like the prodigal son, the lyric confesses lost faith in "I have cursed thy rod and staff, they no longer comfort me" referring to Psalm 23. It's common for young Christians to grow up, lose their way, and return to faith later in life. I believe this is true of this writer. Jesus speaks to this in the gospel.
But the writer also abandons his "name". Like the prodigal son, he's turned his back on his family. Times are tough.
Without faith and family, the writer is on his own and turns to "love". He places his hope in the love in his heart and sets his sights to a "new world".
The guy is heading into the wild with only his wits. Tough times.
Great lyric that many can relate to on some level.
