Voltaire talked about this song in his message list a few years ago when this album came out. He said it was about having a fling with an ex after not dating them for a while. They came back into the narrator's life but left soon after that, leaving the narrator with questions of what the hell that was all about. Was it "redemption or a resurrection" and did he and the fling 'serve any purpose to anyone at all". The ex, and the narrator to some extent, had a big martyr complex, so that explains the Jesus on the cross metaphor.
