It's about his struggles with believing that God is real. I know where he's been. It's like life is so bad sometimes you wonder if He's even there... We beg for signs, some kind of reconciliation. Warmth in our hearts. So we know. So we never forget that He is always with us.
I love the ending to this song. The last lines are all about redemption. "Cover your eyes, forget what you see, go west young man, let the evil go east." A clear cut tie to the verse in the bible that says "He casts our sins as far as the east is to the west."
