Basically, you guys are spot on about what this song's about, but just to delve into it a bit deeper. It's about having your own personal relationship with some sort of higher being outside the influence of organized religion. The song is untitled for a reason, because "God" can not have a name, "God" is something we can not possibly hope to understand as human beings. This song transcends those boundaries and outlines that theme very specifically. The angst and heavy riffs in the music define that quite clearly.
You don't need to call yourself a "Christian" or "Muslim" or "Jew" to have spirituality and a relationship with god, and you definitely don't need organized religion telling you how to believe. Ed shows us that with these words here.
