This song is a lot less about god and the angels you'd typically think of.
The song is obviously about escapism, which Adam has said plays a major part in his life, just listen to ANY of his songs.
/I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says, "I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me if you're out there"/
He doesn't need the light, because he's safe in his imagination
/Living close to the ground is seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts, I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts/
There are more beautiful things seen in space, which is referring to people who "have their head in the clouds"
/In the dust on my cellar staircase,
A pair of footprints followed me
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
Blinked again but there was nothing to see/
He can't help but notice things that aren't real
(Starting to look like some sort of disorder)
/I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor
(Wake me if you're out there)
And I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore/
He keeps his knees black and blue and prays to the ceiling. Kinda seems like a stab AGAINST religion, huh?
/The indications reveal (Wake me if you're out there)
That few of us realize life is quite surreal
So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity/
I see the angels he's speaking of, in the sense of this song, more to be a guiding influence.
/Wake me if you're out there!/
More of the surreal/escapism, calling out for a guiding influence.
This is one of my favorite songs by Owl City, I melt a little each time he screams "Wake me if you're out there!"
The part where he says "I BELIEVE so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore" is not against religion. He's sayingthat he has found God, (hence the "I believe" part) so he's not praying to something "imaginary" or just "the ceiling" anymore. And he "keeps his knees black and blue" because he falls to the ground to pray. :)
