I think this song is about religion and the many different ones in the world. "...the nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck..." Many people wear the symbol of their religion around their necks. The "tragedy" is perhaps speaking to the prejudice that is associated with the various religions. "Do you lead? or are you led? are you sure that you don't care?" I think speaks to those who "practice what they preach" vs. just going to church or synagogue or temple, and the fact that they may not care speaks perhaps to atheism. "There are reasons here to give your life and follow in your way" speaks again to devoting ones life to their religion. "The passion lives to keep the faith, though all are different, all are great" I think speaks for itself. People are passionate about their religion, and although there are many religions, all are great...no one is better than another. It's about the belief; that you believe in your faith. In general, it speaks to how we can all pass each other, every day, everywhere...how we all exist together. We are the same, yet different because of our religious beliefs and it doesn't make one of us better than the other.
