what does this mean

It's about that timeless struggle to understand God. "Tell me how you wear that crown of right... you lift us up then let us down." It contains those common themes that people often struggle to grasp when they attempt to rationalize God and his actions (or lack thereof). How can God exist if there is so much evil in the world? Why do we hide from God if it is he who gives us love? God gives hope and strife simultaneously which leaves Meric (and the rest of us for that matter) to ask, why?....God?

I see it as a criticism of the concept of God, talking about the inherent contradiction of an omnipotent deity, and an expression of the resulting frustration.
