I have a problem with people saying thrice is using spiritual things like this as "Jesus" or Christian references.
Don't get me wrong, I know that's what he is doing. But one thing I really like about Thrice is that they keep stuff like this ambiguous in the sense it could be pegged to almost any religion or spiritual/personal belief. Even Atheism (someone leaves behind a good part of themselves, only to come back and realize they were bad or had no significant attempt at helping humanity).
I am personally a Muslim, and this song fits just as perfectly for me as it would for a Christian if he was referring to God as the narrator.
