This person wants to believe in God, but doesn't know how to go to Him with their problems. The Christians seem to all tell him about this God of Love, but they do nothing for him themselves. They can't even help him take away his pain. "The drugs do what the friends cannot." It's a sad, but honest song, about how hated these people can be by the Christian crowd, and yet how they really do want to know the answer and have gone about in in a terribly wrong way.
