Firstly, Astrologically speaking, the earth sign has the weaknest of having trouble changing, when compared to the other signs (water changes the most). It's very helpful to know astrology when trying to interpret the Alchemy Index.
This song is about coming back to God, kindof like Dustin's solo song Please Come Home.It is also existentialist: "not your spirit but your SHAPE"- he is saying existence preceds essence.

He is saying, and arriving at the same conclusion as Dostoevsky, Kafka, Kierkegaard, that after so much doubting, one is still empty inside and the only turht that they will find is God's truth. Once they know that God exists, they are unable to have faith he does-and all benefits of this knowledge is lost. God does not want you to know of his existence, he asks that you have faith.
The song is saying, that in the end, you wont be rested until you stop thinking and doubting and you just accept who and what you are and that God loves and forgives you;

Here i will teach you truly how to sleep.
He is talking about the wisdom and the feet of (advocates of, Knight of faith, read Fear and Trembling, which is what the messenger is based on) religion; the bible and its teachings.
Have faith, and sleep.
Because objectivity is like fire it destroys; hence child of DUST.
