Vartan's version is more accurate.

IMO, this song is clearly about how our American society is based around Christianity and Christian eschatology. Everyone is happy to live their lifes believing what the masses believe without looking for anything else. The main character (could be Daren, could be someone else) is actually looking for something else, more specifically - love.

I love the line "Losing, losing, losing and I'm feeling lucent." It's as if the main character is standing there while everyone is failing saying I told you so but, yet still, no one believes him.

IMO, I think this song is about how religion is not the true love. Love is the true love.
