It is hard to argue that this song is not spiritual in nature with the numerous references to satan, angels, prayer and sin. A lot of people have commented about the loss of innocence and that is what sin is.
The bible talks at great length about being "enslaved to sin." Or if you like to think of it this way, "bought and sold" by your sinful desires and actions (Romans 7:14). The song touches on the raw frustration that anyone who has ever battled with any kind of sin understands, "Forfeit all my lives, to get just one right." And while confessions not yet stated, our next sin is contemplated" this is exactly what it is like. We are literally enslaved by sin. We get to a point where we are held back by the chains we allowed to be put on us through our actions.
But the truth is that while we are enticed, we have all consented to our mistakes. Our innocence was not stolen, we handed it over for "pleasures overrated." There is only one who can count us as innocent.
