I think a lot of the lyrics point to it being about Christ. According to a lot of sources, he was about 33 when he died. Also, it may have to do with how his original teaching were distorted into what we know as Christianity today- the lyrics "For the record, no one will understand what it is all about" especially support this. "It is a promise of a lifetime never recorded." Because of the fact that the gospels were actually written years after his death, we can only speculate about some of what happened in his lifetime. If you watch the video with this in mind, it actually makes more sense.
