Rog27 is correct. ‘The system’ is the political mindset or zeitgeist of the people.
The song is about how the people have allowed evil to surface (Trump becoming president) and how there must be some kind of evil magic working in the darkness to allow this happen.
Maybe I listen more than you think
(I’m aware of this underbelly of evil)
And I can tell that somebody sold you
(You’ve been swayed toward the evil)
We said we’ve never let anyone in
(We thought we could contain the evil within us)
We said we’d only die of lonely secrets
The system only dreams in total darkness
(The mindset of the people is influenced by a hidden evil)
Why are you hiding from me?
We’re in a different kind of thing now
(The evil has risen to the surface)
All night you’re talking to God
(By some evil magic (god) that I can’t explain)
I thought that this would all work out after a while
(If I ignored this underbelly of evil it might just go away)
Now you’re saying that I’m asking for too much attention
(But now the evil have surfaced I’m speaking out now and nobody will listen)
Also no other faith is light enough for this place
(Being good isn’t strong enough to defeat this evil now the people have been ‘sold’)
Evil has surfaced, the mindset of the people has switched in favour of the evil, and I’m so shocked that it has happened. It’s like some kind of evil magic. I can’t explain it any other way.

Yeah, the singer is lamenting how we have let the dark side take over. Wonderful song even if very dark lyric wise.
