I don't know about how Jesus came about his enlightenment, but you mentioning that reminded me of the story of Buddha. He meditated under a tree for 49 days until he he attained enlightenment. the song talks about the guy looking up through the tree and such and it just sort of reminded me of that. I don't think it's about anyone in particular but maybe just has some parallels to the old stories.
