It seems pretty clear to me that UO is referring to the Illuminati with this song...any thoughts on that? I mean, what is your interpretation of that? Are they coming out against it? Are they warning of it? Telling about it? I can't quite tell, so any help would be appreciated.
I've been thinking about this as well. Being a Christian band, the most logical interpretation is that they are coming out against it/warning of it, but I haven't been able to support this (or any other interpretation) in any way based on the lyrics.

It's also a little disconcerting that they are now releasing Illuminati-esque merch, just look at some of the T-Shirt designs. Not saying anything, just think it's a bit weird.

If you read the lyrics, it talks about being in the empty room first. This relates to the ending of the lyrics where he says "I tore out my lying eyes, so they locked me up". It seems like he changes his mind, which makes sense with "how do i know what side im on" as he was once with them and now breaking from them which causes them to throw him in their empty dark room of torture.

If you ask me, I think he's speaking out against any kinds of an illuminati. Underoath never throws something out there that doesn't seem to fit with who they are, but more or so to expose something else we might have missed.
I can relate with the lyrics in saying that i've been pouring out into this "society" that's full of lies & manipulation, yet they cheer me on to staying with them. This is where I see Spencer talk about breaking free from the room where they throw you into, or in the form, where they "hunt me down" or just attack me until I decide to come back to them. But he insists "i don't belong here". It speaks so much truth to me, that being part of a group that is all about "works" and having their own "new world order" is just a lie. To break free, seek truth & freedom. So i wouldn't say they are speaking necessarily into the actual illuminati, but any form that looks like it.
After reading over the lyrics again, I think I agree with mike (for the most part).

It seems like the song begins with him coming to an awareness of the Illuminati. Perhaps him "[Awakening] to the sound of emptiness" is a metaphor for this new awareness. He then wonders how to know whether or not he is (or has been) a part of this.

He realises that in some way, he is a part of it (a "captive"), and that he doesn't belong there, but he doesn't know the way out. The Illuminati realises that he is trying to get out, and comes to "hunt him down", but he breaks free.
He then says that he "tore out [his] naive eyes", referring to when he became aware of the Illuminati, and they "locked [him] up" when they saw that he had experienced this 'awakening'.
Watched a thing with the band a while back, they said their merch has nothing to do with the illuminati, and they have it because they like the design and think it's cool. Didn't seem like they cared about the illuminati at all, so it makes me doubt the song is about that. Just speculation.

That's my interpretation at the moment.
