"Made sense of such a raw deal" the raw deal is the reality of humanity being insignificant in the universe and there being no afterlife, playing to make sense of that is pretending there is more to life than that as taught by religion.
"I lost my faith in a sweet illusion where every wound heals" I's assume he's talking about catholic confession forgiving all sins. Which isnt the case if the whole dogma is false.
"drunk on new truth" Excited about being able to live life for yourself and not have to worry about appeasing god/eternal punishment in hell. Just the freedom of being in control of your own life.
This song is about shedding religion.
