The meaning of this song is one of the biggest reasons I like it so much. In fact, quite a few things can be drawn from it.
Overall, the song is about how, no matter how 'good' of a person we are, or more specifically, how 'good' of a person the world views us as, you still cannot get into heaven on your own means. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god"
The 'people that I meet' mentioned in the song, may see the subject as a wonderful person, but in the eyes of god, or the mirror of souls, he is still blackened and corrupted by sin. But by through accepting the salvation of Christ (the stranger) god sees only the perfect life of his son, and not all of the sin and inequity
