I'm going to be obvious and annoying, but I think this song is about a man who has given up on religion. I think he's given up on trying to be perfect according to how the bible tells him, and is just going to focus on being a good person instead. I think when he was younger he held a lot in store by the bible, going to bookstores, ripping out his favorite pages. But I think now he's wizened and found his own connection to god.
By the way, it's so nice to have a studio recording of this song. I think the new album is amazing, a good mixture of soviet kitch and begin to hope.
How could I have missed that! It does seem obvious now haha. I definitely agree about the giving up on religion and good is better than "perfect" according to the bible! Thanks for that insight. :)
