I've been listening to this song for a long time now and just this morning it dawned on me that perhaps this song is about religion. I'm agnostic myself, however, a few lyrics seem to relate to the story of Jesus being crucified on the cross. How the lyrics speak of bearing the weight for you could mean the weight of your (our) sins. There are a few parts that could have biblical/religious references. But that's just my interpretation.
