Hmmm. This song is kind of tough. As this album is supposed to be VERY spiritual based I'm going to take a long shot on this one.
This sounds like it's about people who think that forgiveness means they can sin (if God will forgive then why bother doing good). So as it lists things the devoted sinner "Wanted" ("What God became, you wanted it" referencing how God changed after Jesus came and was less wrathful because of forgiveness) but the "one thing [they'll] never get" is the word of God saying they CAN sin. This person defends themself by saying it's just their nature to sin ("You blamed it on your chemistry") but in the end sin is against God. Sin is coming to God and saying that you're in charge, not him ("Long live the new king!
I am the new King!").
Some other stuff I picked up on was:
"Run you coward, you run
These words crippled my confidence
The hymn I can't escape from
This is over and done with"
I'm sure this verse is describing running from God and the existence of sin. Trust me, I've got through this before. The feeling when you hear a hymm or a worship song really gets to you. Gives you a feeling of hate.
"I created everything here that I wanted to see"
Goes along with what I was saying. Making up your own rules rather than what the bible says.
So yeah, that's my opinion. What do you guys think?
