It's interesting... at first, I thought it was about an asshole person who thought of themselves as 'better' than everyone else. Like, holy and that they were God's gift to the world.
The last verse is what trips this up, kind of.
"Son of God, are you listening?
Son of God, can you hear my cry?
We put our faith into you
How could you just watch them die?"
Blessthefall is Roman-Catholic, so their religion can bleed into their music (even though they don't want to be known as a 'Christian band'). This part seems oddly blasphemous, like they're talking about Jesus Christ and how, even thought they put faith in him, he did not answer. Asking like, "where were you? when we prayed for help, and you did nothing? are you even real? or a lie?"
Or, if that's too much of a stretch, they could be talking about said asshole person in a sarcastic context, like: "If you're as holy as you say you are, prove it. Save us and don't leave us." When said person cannot do that, blessthefall says "I knew it, bitch. Stop treating yourself like a god when you're nowhere near sacred"

Two ways to look at it, I guess
