You could take it secularly and say that it's a person who is plagued with depression and doesn't want to bother the one person who will understand with all their problems until they truely need them in a very very dark place.
Or the way I take it is he doesn't want to go to God with all of his problems, similar to Fake You Out. He wants to pretend like it's all fine and put on a happy façade except it's not. He's plagued with all these demons and the guilt that he "has killed a man" which is Jesus. He took the life of a truly perfect man in order for him to love. He doesn't feel like God is close because of the "one way conversations" of prayer. But in the end he knows that the Rock is there for him to anchor on and decides he needs Him to stay with him through the night.
@Oliveia yeah I totally agree with your interpretation. I like your interpretation of his guilt for taking the life of Christ, but I also thought of it a bit like Trees, where he is ashamed and standing cowardly, in my opinion because he has sinned yet again. He has metaphorically killed a man, or maybe he is referring to contributing to Jesus' punishment for our sins. idk. He doesn't want to call out to The Rock, his guilt makes him stubbornly afraid. And yet, he finally calls out to God, his hiding place. It's a beautiful song, much like Trees.
