"Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." - Jesus in John 3:7-8.
He's sort of waiting for The Wind, this motion of new birth to come into his life. He feels alone, and feels like his spirit is breaking, but he's hoping it's just a bad time, and that he will bend and The Wind will come and renew him. He realizes that God was waiting for him on the shoreline where he thought he had been left alone. God never really left.
When he says, "Tried to kiss the emptiness," I think he means he was getting sucked into the world and what it does, trying to embrace the emptiness in hopes that it would bring some fulfillment, but really there is nothing in emptiness, and he finally realized that.
As stated in the previous comments, the members are Christians, originally a teen worship band at their church. I feel like Scars and Stories has much more religious themes than any of their other stuff (I think they tried to avoid it so they didn't get labeled as "Christian").
