i think "the so unknown" is marriage, and this song is about leaving an old life behind and starting over with his wife. it's about becoming someone's life, their everything.
"And we won't wake up on Sunday
So I'm building us a church
Where we can sleep in
With the gods at work
And our friends will write us letters
They'll never understand why we don't call
We're hiding out until the empire falls"
they don't need to go to church or believe in anything else because they have found each other, and all they want to do is be together away from the rest of the world.
