Sorry if anyone said this already, I went through the first couple pages but it would take to long to read through all of them. Alot of people seem to think this song is about Jesus, but i think that the meaning is more anti-religious.
First of all, in the second part of the chorus he says "omnipotence, nurturing malevolence" which means that god is nurturing the evil in the world, and allowing it to grow.
In the second verse i believe they are talking about the bible.
"Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully. I'll still feel the violence of the lines."
I think that here he is saying that the church will hide the parts in the bible that speak hatred like the parts where 'God' speaks against homosexuality, but even if they dont reference it, it will still hurt him.
As for the rest of the song i think its talking about how bad the world is. So yeah, those are my thoughts on the song. I really like its meaning, or atleast what I think its meaning is.
I agree, I think the chorus references people who take the bible like it's so beautiful it brings tears to their eyes yet he laughs because he's read the hate that's preached in the bible. As for his mother crying, perhaps she was very religious yet she's far away because he doesn't want to be around her beliefs.
