Iv loved this band since their very first album and this is definantely one of my favorite songs by them. to me this song is about how he was told how he could make it to heaven but in order to do so he has to face the consequences of his actions "lie in the bed that you make" and he's running from those consequences
No it doesn't have anything to do with religion. When this band first got its first big break-the record company put them on the road immediately and they began a grueling schedule and worked there butts off!!
