I find this song in lyrics and sound to be very stellar and love to listen to it at night while driving or looking at the stars.

I think that it is about a person who used to "love everything" in his life more than anything else but for some reason has just broke down. Now he is just workin' on leavin' the living by getting himself wasted and killing himself by probably drunk driving. The dream he is driving is to leave his life which is so much like hell, that even if isaac is athiest, there doesn't need to be an afterlife, just ending it all can be heaven for some people. He is using the word as an emotional place, not physical like religion, its art people, open your minds.
