I think it is the opposite of trying to become more religious. Or maybe it is a conflict, as he has said before that he didn't believe in a god. Since this album was inspired by a death in his family, I think David is simultaneously angry with life and confused by it. I can't really find the exact meaning, but I don't think many of his songs have a very direct meaning. To me the most emotional part of the song is the end when he repeats "I'm ready now" until finally ending with "But where are you." So he keeps saying he is ready for something, but what? And now that he has decided he is ready, he realizes that this person is missing and that he is alone. It's a tough song to grasp, but it is clearly emotional.
