If you reach out for more, You'll find nothing but sorrow. 'Cause knowledge is hollow. And pride is hard to swallow.

I think these lines refer to how some people acknowledge the absurdity of religion but despite it all they choose to believe in it, and even though sometimes it can be so obvious..(that it isn't real), no one will admit it to themselves and keep on believing.
