I think the song is about the singer losing faith in God. He wants to believe, but he is doubting. You can tell that he is addressing God or some other religious deity by the line "Show me a sign, sweep me away". I also think the title of the song, Smoke and Mirrors, refers to the fact that he thinks his beliefs are an illusion.
