It definitely speaks overtly about Jesus's life. He gave his life for the Nazarenes, all who could be considered lesser men and fools because of their seemingly barbaric ways as written in the bible. H suffered on the cross for these people, and the false idols and kings, presumably the democratic roman empire, had him worked by carrying his cross as well as the several beating he took. Feet nailed to the floor is an allusion to the actual crucifixion. The second verse capitalizes on this notion even more.
