This song is about how detrimental believing in god is. This is most clear in the line "So sing your praise with your noiseless voices." It's just saying that praying and hoping for things from god is useless as voices directed toward him are noiseless. "Refind relief in chaos unleashed," is say that letting go of the rigid views of religion for that of uncertainty and chaos is freeing. "suppress us impress us with subtle delusions and life-like proportions bled into one another" expresses John's views that religion, while it is desired, is delusional and how religious ideas spread because of how people try to make them seem "life-like".
