I believe the comments that this song represents a betrayal of Jesus are absolutely naive and without a true reading of the lyrics. You miss the metaphor; he seems to be talking to himself. The comment referring to looking in the mirror signified to me his monologue. Also, you've clearly missed the nihilistic statements that we only have one life to live.
He seems to be attempting to accept himself with the person he's talking to in the mirror as his sanity. He is trying to communicate to himself that everybody has forgiven him, he has to now forgive himself.
