I think that the second line is intangible instead of tangible.
For the meaning I'd say everybody else hit it. I don't think this song is necessarily pointing toward God and that he is the real savior. I was wondering if this is supposed to be a concept album and I googled it and someone said that the singer said at a concert that the songs on the album are supposed to be about life, death, or the transition. Supposedly when you have a near-death experience and do the whole out-of-body thing you see yourself connected to your body by a silver cord.
Anyway, I'd say this guy is looking back on his life and how he made money off of religion and he's sorry about it. It's kind of a warning not to repeat how people idolized him.
