The mirror is an illusion held up by a church, and the one in front of it exceeds the image by understanding that it's not real. He doesn't want to pretend anymore, because to him, faith is a "lunatic's legacy."
There are also references to Jesus himself, like "Blood runs from open wounds of false flesh" (how Christianity drives home the point of Jesus bleeding on the cross) and "The narrow slits the veins in search for the crown" (Jesus was called the "King of Kings," and the crown is a common Christian symbol). So this guy sees his Christian brethren metaphorically wounding themselves in search for reconciliation with their savior, and to him, it's all futile. He doesn't want to live like them.
The part around 3:00 with all those sweet-ass violins represents his "intoxicating" departure from the church. He's finally free to live and die as he sees fit, and not under the doctrines of Christianity.
In the end, he's a demon/angel "hybrid." To those in the church, he's a demon who yields fragments of hell. To others who may have been afraid to leave Christianity, he's an angel who gives them courage.
It's about someone leaving Christianity behind.
