If everything’s relative, then why the emptiness in our souls?
The “emptiness” of the soul is obviously referring to the lack of something within us. I think that this might be referring to what seems like a lack of love or a broken heart, but is actually a broken connection to God. This makes sense because in Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ (God) is an all loving being and Christ enters us all and works through us through the Holy spirit. If everything is relative, it can relate to each other and so there is a link between everything in this universe. The lyricist is very poetically saying that if everything links to each other then why do some of us have a broken connection with Jesus Christ, the lover. This broken connection with God is the lack of love which is the “emptiness” in our souls. This is backed up by the line that comes earlier saying, “Oh God we live in misery, we need you here more than anything, right now.” I think that the song is like a prayer, asking God to forgive us and fix the broken link between us.
