I agree with all of you saying he's talking about a higher power and someone/something looking out for their own good.
I believe he's talking about the church though.
I know this is gonna piss a lot of people off, but Underoath isn't the same band they were when They're Only Chasing Safety came out.
Half the band questions their faith while the other half is still devoted to Christianity.
Look in to it.
I know there is interviews out there where both Grant and Spencer talk about it.
And I'm pretty sure this entire album is about Spencer questioning Christianity and the church.
Just sayin', christianity and the church are two totally different things. If someone questions the church it may be because deeper devotion to christianity. Can't say more as I don't see it the same way as you.

I'm gonna agree with you on that. To me, this song looks like he's bitter or just questioning Christianity and the Church. i think "Just a statue of a stain in time" refers to a crucifix, like he's thinking that the crucifixion itself is not important anymore. "Machines built by machines" I think is meant to say that Christians are blindly following those who blindly follow, and that most to all Christians don't truly question whether or not what they believe is true.
