Spirit Shine Lyrics

Here's my interpretation:

-- You, one with the "spirit shine", are nice to everyone regardless: you don't raise your voice neither for downtrodden nor tyrant, consealing your true feelings. But as you suppress your true feelings (true feelings), and try hard to be virtuous, ever-forgiving; you wound yourself mentally (closed wounds) and only becoming obsessed in chastity, so in lifes of other people.

in sum, i think it's all about suppressed emotions and their destructiveness on human mind. And of course, religious people who try hard to look always 'kind' and virtuous, have much more suppressed emotions than anyone, so they're not that sane at all.

Hope you like it:)

My Interpretation

@zamsalak this is what I thought at first as well. Glad to see I’m not alone.
